Julian Bell

I have to admit, the holidays got me a bit distracted from working, but I'm getting back in the saddle and I'm ready for action. I'm starting 2013 off with a portait shoot of a local rising star: singer/songwriter Julian Bell. Julian was recently on The Next showing some serious chops with his John Mayer cover. Recently I heard him open for another local songwriter Phil Jacobson whose album photography I did last fall. After listening to him perform live, I knew I needed to have him over for a session.

We only spent about an hour together shooting, talking about music, his new EP he's releasing next month, and our mutual love for John Legend. Julian is really a warm, kind soul and I wanted these photos to reflect that quiet nature. I really enjoyed our short time together and expect to see great things from this artist.
