Loved getting to shoot at Tony Joe White’s great studio in Franklin, TN. Tony at 70yrs old, is about one of the hippest and nicest person I’ve ever met and such an awesome guitarist, singer and songwriter. Get a dose of the Tony Joe White Hoodoo right here. It was great to spend the day at Tony Joe’s private recording studio. Tony like to record to analog live to tape, capturing honest, authentic performances on his vintage Strat. Tony Joe is all about the vibe, the feel and the groove. It’s his originality in songwriting, his deep voice and his funky guitar work. For this shoot, I used my Canon 5D mk3, rigged for handheld with various Red Rock micro support and follow-focus, SmallHD DP6-SDI monitor, all powered by LanParte. I also had a chance to shoot some analog stills on my 1939 Rolleiflex TLR camera. Here is one shot on a hot, swampy day.
