"PUNKS+THUGS" project samples, set-up and story.

Getting ready to shoot the up and coming Los Angeles punk band "Counterfeit Saints" for my "PUNKS+THUGS" project.



The "PUNKS&THUGS" project is driven by the music. The look of any "PUNK" and/or "THUG" is clear... Whether it be a mohawk, tattoos and a chained wallet, OR diamonds+gold in the teeth, tattoos, and a fitted cap "broke way off"... Both characters are only driven by the lifestyle of the music. The music comes from the streets and the characters come from the music, and they don't really care if you like them or not. The level of confidence, and attitude that comes from their music is not comparable with any other form of expressive art. With this project I'm planning on showing the subject's expressive nature, whether it be crazy, cold, or creepy... I want the viewer to feel some strength of feeling from within the character.

Below is a sample shot I did of rapper David Banner for "PUNKS+THUGS" project (Also used for "respect my vote" campaign tour project).


More coming soon!
