A while back, I told the story of a photo shoot I did with the band Bush. To recap, I took them out into the alley next to the Aragon Ballroom, and positioned them in a doorway. I told the three musicians in the band to pose in the doorway, and, at the count of three, Gavin Rossdale, the singer would jump off the stoop and I would catch him flying through the air. They all thought that was a great idea, until wee were ready to shoot, when it was mentioned that his hair might be out of place when he jumped. So, I shot a few boring shots of them all standing in the doorway, and I went home. As far as I know, none of the photos were ever used anywhere.
So, fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, and I found myself in the same alley, next to the same doorway. When I ]asked the band (Little Ed and the Blues Imperials) to recreate the same situation, there was no hesitation! Guess there is less of an image situation in the blues world than in the rock world!!
