Thira

So, last night I had a studio shoot with a Heavy Metal band called Thira. They were an awesome group of dudes! It always surprises me how amazingly nice heavy medallists are. I always have this vision in my head that they just want to rip me apart, but more times then not, they are some of the raddest and nicest people to work with, although the pictures may seem so otherwise, haha.
Anyway, here are a couple shots from the shoot. It was really cool because they had somewhat of a vision for the shots prior to the shoot, which is always a huge help. They came up with the idea of smearing black face paint all over their bodies and clothes for the shots. I was stoked because most times you have to really convince people to get into the photos like they did. Anyway, Pif, the lead member, had more emotions and personalities to capture than most I have ever worked with, and I had a blast working with him and the band. I hope for more shoots with the group in the future. But yeah, below are a couple shots from the session. Hope you enjoy!
