07.20.96 – Red House Painters | Island Records

This was a good one!ย  My good friend & publicist John Vlautin at Island Records hired me for a publicity shoot with the Red House Painters.ย  I did the shoot up in San Francisco at Blue Sky Studios.ย  I donโ€™t remember the band so much, but I do remember their leader Mark Kozlik.ย  SO nice, cool, talented and fun.ย  SO easy to shoot and very laid back.

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

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