Chasen

March 17, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

A few weeks ago, I mentioned photographing Chasen for their debut album. I’ve waited a while to post some shots on my website. I wanted to wait until they made their final selects and got their album promotion and distribution deal worked out.

Well…they recently signed a distribution deal with EMI and their album will hit nationwide on April 15th (one day after my birthday, FYI). I would strongly encourage you to go here and pre-order the album or visit your favorite music store, whether it be virtual or physical, and pick up a copy of the album. Then you can brag to your friends about the fact that you know the guy who did all of the photography, just kidding, but seriously get the album. These guys are talented and have worked their tails off touring and supporting their radio singles.

We had a great time working on this project and spent a couple of late nights getting some great shots. We shot everything in August, when it was “surface-of-the-sun” temperatures in SC, but the guys wanted to wear layers of clothing and sweaters to make it more appropriate for a February release, which was unfortunately delayed 2 months. I was drenched wearing shorts and a t-shirt, so these guys took one for the team to get these shots. Sean Madden, who desperately needs a portfolio website for me to link to right now, did an amazing job as the creative director for the shoot and designer for the album layout. If you are interested in his services, let me know and I’ll hook you up with his info.

Here’s one of my many favorite shots.
