A few months back I got a call from the photo editor at Guitar World to photograph Mark Tremonti, lead guitarist of Creed and Alter Bridge, for the Tune Ups section of the magazine. I went into this assignment pretty much blind as I knew little about Mark or his background. Upon arriving at Mark's house I was greeted by a very cool down to earth guy who I could sense had a serious passion for music. My assistant and I were given a grand tour of the home and I quickly realized locations would be plentiful. We ended up shooting in Mark's studio, living room and rooftop. I got lucky and went past the agreed 2 hour time frame I was given by Mark's publicist. Overall meeting Mark was way cool but knowing he is a fellow MOPAR guy made him even cooler!
Here's the article that's running in this months Guitar World magazine and a few extras from the shoot:
I feel lucky enough to be following my passion 15 years and counting..
From my humble beginnings in Miami Beach to my last residency in NYC I have broadened the scope and gained experience in what I considers a true passion. Some of my clients include: Sony music, BMG, London Sire, Spin, Rolling Stone, Mixmag, URB, Orlando Weekly, Orlando Magazine, and to many more to list..
Since moving to Orlando from NYC shortly after 9/11/01 life has continued its interesting and loving path. I am now happily married to my lovely wife Lindsay and I recently became a dad. When not on assignment you can find me spending family time. On any given Sunday you can find me riding the Triumph Tiger or the BMW R90 on the open road.
