"Bye-bye Miss American Pie..." I can still hear Richard Swan softly strumming the guitar and toying with the tune while I changed lenses and loaded film. I had met Richard briefly just two days prior at a networking event. After the first words of the first song he sang, I knew I needed to photograph him. Forty-eight hours later, Richard and I were shooting on the streets of Covina. As an artist, often times I find I'm inspired most by the raw talent in others; this case was no different.
Richard resides in London, and is currently working on his album, which is set to release in 2010.
The first and third photo are my favorite. This is an awesome series. It's really cool how things tend to kick off when you're not trying.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really nice collection. The post processing perfectly creates the right emotion for this story. Nice.
