before i get out of the country i've had the opportunity to work more with the band Eras. Eras is a hardcore band from Sacramento, CA who I photographed in the studio for Chromatic late last year. this time around i photographed them for their upcoming self-titled EP. pulling influence from bands like American Nightmare, Black Flag and The Suicide File, Eras puts a melodic spin on hardcore. you can hear their latest tracks on their myspace. they wanted everything in black and white, high contrast.

i'm going to be blunt, i really dreaded this shoot. with a mixture of stress and pressure from the prep for my trip; i thought working with a band would be the last thing on my to do, let alone in a style that isn't my favorite.

i was wrong.

this shoot turned out to be 100 times better than i thought. i had fun, i got to use some creative lights (flower lamp = ) and the guys took it seriously. thanks Eras.
