Malcolm-Jamal Warner | BWR | 10.28.99

This was one of those shoot where I had to pinch myself.  Shooting Malcom Jamal Warner for his album cover was strange and crazy.  I never thought I would shoot him, let along his album cover.  He’s a brilliant jazz musician and I have to say I like the album.

We did the shoot at 5th and Sunset Studios in LA.  I was hired by his publicist BWR for the shoot.  They were and are a BIG publicity company.  What I remember about the shoot most is Malcom.  He was so cool, nice and very easy shoot.  We shot him in 4 different set-ups.  With and without his stand up bass.  Since it was for him and his PR I made sure to get him lots to choose from.

At the end it was a smooth shoot.  The packaging came out nice.  One of my favorites.  Not sure how much noise he got out of it, but I was grateful and loved the results.  I wonder if he did any more albums after this one?  I need to look I guess.  Where’s my Google?
