I was recently invited by violinist/guitarist Marc Hennessey of the local Asheville band To All My Dear Friends to take some photographs of his ensemble  videotaping atop the Aloft Hotel located in downtown Asheville. Below are several photos of a series I captured that afternoon.

The video was filmed and choreographed by photographer/filmmaker Erin Derham (Busker Blues) and her team as a part of a promotional campaign for the group’s new album Bloom.

It was a windy, but dry and sunny October afternoon. Simultaneously wielding two cameras outfitted with different lenses, and striving to stay out of the way, I shot just outside and around the field of view of the film crew.

The images presented here capture the cinematic essence I felt was conveyed by the group’s performance as they mimed to their music played over speakers.

More information on the new release and project is available at toallmydearfriends.com.
