Aaron Michael

I had the unique opportunity to enter the recording studio and photograph a friend of mine: Aaron Michael. He went in this weekend to professionally record his demo album and invited me along to just hang out.

Here's a quick collage I compiled from the day:






He, his cousin Thomas and brother Melvin have joined artistic talents and started their own music production company called ATM Productions. They're also hilarious to hang out with. We were laughing all day -- lost of fun... and inspiring! The owner and sound engineer, Dick Henderson, welcomed us into his home and even provided great technical insight as to what was recorded on the tracks.

Not alot of folks know this, but I always wanted to become a music producer and stepping into Henderson studio brought back alot of memories. Now I'm a photographer and I have the great opportunity to work with alot of people (including artists, producers and art directors) and I feel so blessed.

Aaron's been through alot of life experiences and his mode of communicating and sharing that is through the lyrics of his music. He has a message -- check out his Myspace page. His words truly come from his heart. You can also get a sneak peak of his professionally recorded, unique sound.

By the way, we're shooting his official portraits later in the month. Keep checking back for those.

Take care!
