Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. AOL Music. NYC, 2009. I think this was one of my first group portraits. We were down one Bizzy but it took every inch of my soul not to nerd out fangirl on these gentlemen. Me and my girlfriends loved us some Bone Art of War in middle school. They came in and my inner 7th grade Bon was like ‘oh shittt I know all the words to Thug Luvvv!’ But I kept chill and just told them thank you for the music. Definitely less likely to hold back on the dorkass lovebombs these days though for sure. 1 1600 Alien Bee in large softbox front left 2 gridded 800s back left n right for rim #bonebonebonebone #hiphopnerd #portrait #lighting #bonsarchive #bononthejob #polaroid #1stofthamonth #bonethugsnharmony #alienbees #dorkass #thugluv https://www.instagram.com/p/CNeEy94r--O/?igshid=8w0co2thi9u0

Authors Shirley Halperin and Steve Bloom for “Reefer Movie Madness: The Ultimate Stoner Film Guide” - NYC 2010. 💚 One thing I love more than working with movie nerds is working with stoners. Theyre always up for whatever whackass idea you wanna throw at them for a photo. Shirley and Steve were coming in to promote their new book “Reefer Movie Madness: The Ultimate Stoner Film Guide”. Rather than a quick snap against a wall I wanted to play with my inner LaChapelle. We don’t often get to with press shoots. I had the thought to have them chiefin to the point that their movies are joining in. I put them on whatever couch I could find in the office and set the soft box w a 1600 alien bee up on the ground to light them like a TV. I shot the TV, painting, the joint and a different more stonery couch offsite. I shot the smoke separate and painted it in and adjusted the wall to bright green. Lookin at it I can definitely put way more stuff on the wall but it left space for text. Just a fun no budget way to get the point across in a 2 minute shoot. 💚 #bononthejob #bonsarchive #portrait #composite #concept #conceptualportrait #conceptualphotography #conceptual #alienbee #lighting #authors #stoners #movienerd #reefermadness #420 #potculture #puffpuffpass @shirleyhalperin @stevebloomdude https://www.instagram.com/p/CNC5y1aLBKs/?igshid=16ngpqj6fbwgd
