Gospel Artist Duane Manns


This shoot was for our now good friends over at So Alive Music in Maryland...they came to us originally for a different purpose - for Aslan to do two websites - one for the label and one for their artist. These 2 gentlemen decided they were going to start a record company called So Alive Music and would be launching Duane Manns, their worship leader of their church, as their first artist.

So in the meanwhile of talking about the websites, Patrick had told them that I did commercial photography, and about my background in the record industry, and they decided to come down to our studio in West Palm for a shoot. We ended up doing the shoot and it was a big hit, and we got some great shots out of it for the Album Cover and insert. We also ended up doing all the design for the marketing materials for them which is always fun for us since it allows us to brand an IMAGE for the artist from their label...from album to every marketing piece they have out. The image that they went with for the album cover is in my portfolio on the site right now. I really like how the whole shoot came out and the final images...they have a certain emotion to them.
