This will most likely be my last photo from Penn State for a while. I’m headed back to New Jersey this afternoon and then down to D.C. for the summer (with stops in Nantucket and NYC in between). So look forward to some things from there!

My friend Matt Yarbrough asked me to take a few headshots of him because he’s trying to break into the music industry. He’s an unbelievably talented singer and is auditioning for the massively popular TV show Glee in the coming weeks, and he needed headshots. I was a little apprehensive about helping him out because I had never taken a headshot before. Thankfully, I had the assistance of Penn State’s resident photo master, Andy Colwell, to help me out. It was an interesting switch from the usual me acting as a VAL (voice-activated lightstand) and Andy directing to the opposite for this shoot. I’m very pleased with how these shots turned out and I hope that Matt does well in his audition. If you’re interested in seeing more of Matt, check out his Facebook page, or you can just watch the video I included below. (Note: The video is from a camera that I set up at the back of the venue, but I’m actually on stage singing with him.)
