The Band from TV

Making Music Magazine wrote a cover story about actor, Greg Grunberg and his role in The Band from TV. They needed a cover shot for the magazine and they contacted me to see if I could get together with Greg at their opening show at the NASCAR race in Fontana to take some photos. I got up bright and early and got to the race track at 7am for the bands sound check. I got the cover shots done with Greg right away, before the rest of the band got there, so that he could focus on the sound check once they started. When shooting cover shots it is important to leave some space at the top and possibly around the edges for the magazine to insert their masthead and story titles. This can be challenging if you like to crop in close to your subject which is what normally makes a better composition. This one didn’t make the cover but I liked the excitement and energy of the shot.
