The Day After Everything Changed

I’ve really enjoyed working with Ellis Paul in recent years, and this project was no different. Due to his, for lack of a better description, crazy schedule, we had a few hectic afternoon/evening shoots, and came away with lots of content. Here are some keepers, and some outtakes.  The album will be officially released on January 12, 2010, but has already been getting some rave reviews. Check www.ellispaul.com for more information, or to download samples of his music.

While I was shooting, I was trying out the HD video capability of one of my new cameras.  I had it set up on a tripod as we shot one of the images for the album – the shot where he jumps in a lake.  Many people have asked if he really jumped in that lake, or if the image was Photoshopped.  Here’s the answer to that question:
