My Drummer Friend + BTS Shot

Here's something a bit different. This is a close up portrait of my good friend and drummer extraordinaire Graham Hopkins.

Graham is the drummer for Glen Hansard and The Frames who some of you may be familiar with. He has also previously played with Delores O'Riordan, Andrea Corr, Therapy, Mundy and a whole lot more.

A while back he asked me if we could shoot a few promo shots for some of the new product endorsements he had signed on with, drum skins, sticks, and various other drum related products.

We shot all that he needed for the drum endorsements, but it was the portrait side of it that I was more interested in 😉

And a little behind the scenes shot if anyone was interested in how I lit the above shot. Its nice to share how these images are created 😊
