My latest photo assignment subject was Famous of Chamillitary. Famous has been around the Texas underground music scene for a number of years and now he’s about to come out strong with the backing of Chamillitary. New images of Famous were needed so they could be incorporated in his new Myspace profile I would be designing.
My team and I did the shoot in San Antonio the day following the Dress Code Party he had hosted the night before. It was raining hard all over San Antonio and much of Texas that week, but we were still able to continue with the schedueled shoot and get the the results we were after.
You can see Famous’s Myspace here.
Bravo Hip-Hop Special, a Bauer Publishing company, is Germany’s largest hip-hop magazine. A few months ago I was contacted by the editor in regards to a photograph that I had taken of Chamillionaire at The 98.5 Beat Bash in San Antonio last summer. They wanted to run my photograph as a two page spread for an upcoming issue in which they were going to be doing a story on Cham and all of his major label success. Since the magazine is only available overseas, the good people at Bauer sent me over a few copies for my portfolio.
I spent the portion of my weekend covering the Party 104.9 Car Show and Concert at Reliant Arena in Houston. There were alot of people checking out the numerous cars in the show and many who were their to see the concert portion of the event. Concert performers included Pitbull, Trae, Devin The Dude, Rob G, Slim Thug, Mike Jones, Huey, and more. Cindy Hill and the entire 104.9 staff did an excellent job.
My photographs from the event can be seen on the LM Events page.
I recently completed a new design project for Houston rapper Rob G. The project titled, “Reppin’ My Block The Mixtape” , is a legit (legal) mixtape from Rob G and Latium that will be distributed nationwide. The mixtape is mixed and hosted by DJ Rapid Ric.
Rob G has been nominated for the categories of “Patiently Waiting: Texas” and “Best Mixtape/Street Album” at the 2007 Ozone Magazine Awards. His debut album, The Inaguration will be out this fall on Latium / Universal Records.
For this recent assignment, my team and I traveled to Kileen, Texas to meet up with Texas rap veteran Scarface and rap group/label Green City. We were there to shoot press, promotional and album packaging images for thier upcoming album release on SMC/Universal Records. Despite the on and off rain weather, we were able to find enough time for our schedueled shoot.
The press image I shot was for The Source Magazine “Off The Radar” story about the rap group. It’s currently in the May issue of the magazine with Kimora Lee Simmons on the cover.
