10 Favorite Rolling Stone Shoots

Shooting for Rolling Stone was a major goal when I started in the music photography game. It was at the top of my list! My first visit their offices was a tough. They looked at my portfolio and said come back when you have more. It motivated me big time. I went back a year later and they hired me for my first shoot!! Here’s 10 of my favs!

Johnny Lydon | March 7th, 1989 – I think this was my 3rd shoot with Johnny. As always he was crazy fun. Always made me look good.
Jefferson Airplane | June 5th, 1989 – This was so special and an honor. Meeting Grace Slick and the band was HUGE! I grew up watching them through out the 60’s & 70’s.
Alice in Chains | September 11th, 1991 – My first shoot with the band down. The photo editor didn’t like the shots cuz they wore sunglasses. SO we reshot in Seattle a couple weeks later.
L7 | February 23rd, 1992 – A great shoot with the band at my favorite Studio 46. These girls rock!
TLC | March 28th, 1992 – My first shoot with Lisa “Left Eye”. She was the best. They were so fun and easy to shoot.
Social Distortion | April 13th, 1992 – Shooting one of my fav bands is always a good thing. Mike Ness is one of a kind.
Toni Tone Tony | August 1st, 1993 – A great shoot out in Marina Del Rey. The guys were so cool and very stylish.
