01.28.93 – Terence Trent Dโ€™Arby | Lippman Entertainment

Yo!  What up T?  This was a BIG deal for me.  Not sure if you remember Terence Trent Dโ€™Arby, but his debut album is one of the best ever!!!  If you donโ€™t know it, get it now!  This shoot was for his third album Symphony or Damn.  I was hired by Lippman Entertainment for Columbia Records.

We shot at his home during the day.  Got a model to come and pose with him.  Something he requested, not me.  His home was super nice and very clean.  Very organized is what I remember most.  After we shot at his place during the day we went over to Studio 46 for part two.  We did a few simple set-ups in the studio and made sure the label was happy with everything.

I was a big fan and it was great that he was so cool.  He didnโ€™t take a bad photo.  As they sayโ€ฆ the camera loved him.  He had style, personality and pure talent.  I was stoked to capture Terence at his best and to this day this shoot was one of my favorites.
