To Be Frank

It’s always fun to work on a day-in-the-life piece. A few months ago, I spent the day with British folk/punk singer-songwriter Frank Turner.

He was playing at Roseland Ballroom, so I got him walking around Times Square after lunch. Is the Abbey Road reference too cliché?

Of course, I took the opportunity to make a portrait while we were outside. Simply lit with one Nikon SB800 off to camera left. Background provided courtesy of New York City vandals.

I have a thing for set lists. I always try to get a shot of them on stage, but if I can get the artist actually writing it out… even better.

Even though Frank was the support act at this show (opening for The Offspring and Sum 41), he gave it his all and made a bunch of new fans that night.
