02.01.96 – John Taylor | B5 Records
A few weeks after shooting the Neurotic Outsiders for Maverick Records John Taylor asked me to shoot him for his first solo record.Β It was for his label B5 Records.Β I thought it was just for publicity, but it ended up being the cover.Β Woo hoo!
I did the shoot at Smash Box in Santa Monica.Β Did 3 simple set-ups in the studio and focused on John.Β With musicians like John you have to stay out of the way and let them be themselves.Β I always keep things simple.Β My lighting, my ideas, my backgrounds and my thoughts.
In the end itβs one of my favorite covers I ever worked on.Β Itβs clean and John looks good.Β I have to be honest I always wanted to shoot Duran Duran and never did.Β This was close enough and very satisfying. Β
