Emerging Artist Photoshoot

This was a photoshoot for Joseph Velasquez, a musician and saxophone player for his album cover. I wanted to make the shots contemporary and hip. We went to different areas in the peninsula to take these shots. We were fortunate enough to have great lighting in a fairly busy area. I liked that he brought his saxophone during the shoot as it added some character to the photos. Even though it was an important piece to represent Joe, I still wanted him to be the focus and star of the shoot. There are some shots where the saxophone is the focus, but it is Joe who is represented in these pictures.
