Album Photo Shooting
Wow, what a day! This was my first real photo session (with studio, make-up, styling and all that) and I have to say, it was quite an experience. Again, I was blessed to work with the best! Legendary photographer Jimmy Abegg and amazing stylist Tony Armani went out of their way to make me look good and capture the magic moments. We had decided beforehand to explore two different angles: a snappy, classy European suit one (see pic below) as well as a crazy-funky, 70s, over-the-top one (I reveal which one we chose soon!). Somehow, I felt more relaxed and at ease in the second, probably because was so ironic that I didn’t worry about looking good any longer… And as always, I learnt a few lessons along the way. It was again a matter of letting go – of my own image of myself, my perceptions, my expectations – and trusting these pro’s that they will actually make me look great or even better than I do in reality! That’s a hard thing to do for someone as vain as me… I haven’t seen much yet, but from what I have seen, I’m convinced that we will have loads of phenomenal material to choose from! One thing we all agreed on was that the album artwork should support and capture the energy of the music, more so than just my face or my looks, which, as a matter of fact, might remain something enigmatic and mysterious. It’s an adventurous journey and the session today was certainly another big step towards finishing the album. I can’t wait to see those pics…
