07.20.96 – Red House Painters | Island Records

This was a good one!Β  My good friend & publicist John Vlautin at Island Records hired me for a publicity shoot with the Red House Painters.Β  I did the shoot up in San Francisco at Blue Sky Studios.Β  I don’t remember the band so much, but I do remember their leader Mark Kozlik.Β  SO nice, cool, talented and fun.Β  SO easy to shoot and very laid back.

I spent the day shoot multiple set-ups.Β  Having the band change looks and shooting quickly.Β  I never liked making shoots last longer than they had to.Β  Everyone has something better to do so be quick!Β  Know what you want and shoot it. Β 

A band like the Red House Painters was easy to shoot cuz they were mellow.Β  Made my day easy.Β  I remember Mark ended up being in Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous.Β  He was in the band Stillwater.Β  Too crazy!Β  Best movie ever!
