As I’ve been working on developing my music portfolio, I’ve been replying to ads like crazy, it’s what you gotta do sometimes! Marktavious was one of a couple of responses that I recieved; so on a recent cold and gray Sunday, we took to the streets of Dallas and shot some photos….First we stopped at a downtown parking garage and went all the way up to the 11th floor, the security guard that rolled up on us was pretty cool, he was just making sure that we didn’t jump off!


I totally think that the one on the right could be an EP/Album cover photo….not tooting my own horn or anything, it just has that feel to it. After these, we made our way into Deep Ellum where I had seen this awesome red brick wall and I knew that it would make the perfect background, especially when I hit it with a 20 degree Grid spot….
This was a great shoot, Marktavious brought energy from the moment that I told him “Stand right here” and snapped the first test shots. Looking forward to working with him again in the near future…hmmm…maybe we’ll get in the studio and throw down on the white seamless!
Oh, yeah, if you want to support local artists/music; Marktavious has a single for sale on Itunes, check it out right here.

Great shots. The backseat one definately looks like a LP cover….
