MXPX | Alternative Press | 04.09.00
This was my second shoot for Alternative Press and a good one! It was a fashion shoot with the awesome band MXPX. I booked a fancy house in Hollywood. Booked a great stylist and got busy. The house was amazing inside and out. The band was cool with the ideas and let me do my thing. I took full advantage of the location. We shot inside and outside.
At this time in my life I was trying all sorts of new cameras and film. I was searching for something different from what I had been doing. I bought two Fuji G645’s and only used those for this shoot. They were basically point & shoot cameras that shot on 120 film. They even had a little pop-up flash. I loved them for a short time, but eventually gave them away.
I shot a shit ton of film for this shoot. I thought I best cover the outfits and get more than they needed. Since they didn’t really didn’t pay anything I had to do my best with what I got. The one thing about editorial shoots… they don’t pay well, but in exchange you get creative freedom.
