Darkroom Visuals on iTunes (and more)



A shoot that I did for Robert R. Jones this last summer has made it's way onto iTunes, CD Baby, and a few other sites out there too. For anyone that likes classical guitar, I highly recommend it (though this is not solely classical guitar - it has song stylings of many other genres).

Not only was I excited that Bob chose me to help him with his shoot, but I was even more excited when he asked if I could assist with the CD layout as well. As an artist, sometimes you really want to keep control over a project because you have a vision and want to see it through. That was certainly the case in this example - while we were shooting, I was seeing visions of the layout in my mind (I wanted to keep it simple and elegant while somewhat bucking the trend of a standard classical guitar CD - trying to keep the end result listener in mind). Here's a small-sized sample of the CD booklet and the back of the CD tray-card as well.





This was somewhat of a perfect client - Bob was very trusting that I would complete the vision we had discussed and when the project was complete, he was extremely pleased with the output - in fact, he said there wouldn't be even one element that he would change.


Robert Jones is a classical guitarist in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area and besides his recent release of Vignettes, he is also an accomplished wedding and event guitarist. You can reach him here to book him for your wedding or event. Feel free to preview or purchase the music on his site or at the links above - if someone would prefer to order a hard copy of the CD, let me know.


Since music is my number one passion, besides photography, I'd love to help any other artists or musicians to create a unique set of photos for their future release, website or promo needs as well. Contact me any time!
