Every one knows I seriously support independent artists. Recently I had the opportunity of photographing a group called Underground Element, consisting of groupmates Raskoe Farley and Solo Gavera. We started at 5am before the sun even came up. We all drank our morning herbal tea and conversed waiting on the sun to rise. I learned a great deal listening to them discuss their musical inspirations and the direction of their movement that morning. I was really inspired to get started. After we shot the sunrise on the rooftop, we later shot on location in an abandoned crematory in the middle of the wilderness. We recreated number of guerrilla militia scenes with an urban Taliban twist. We ate lunch at one of their favorite vegetarian restaurants and rapped up the last look in the studio. On this last setup, the theme focused heavily on space travel with galactic elements. These guys gave me great energy and lots of ideas to collaborate to make this shoot one of my most memorable. And with no further ado... I present to you their deput single and album cover, "GALACTIC MACKIN" photograph and designed by yours truly.
