The True Vaults

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 22:33:28 +0100

Some shots from a sunny Saturday morning band promo shoot with my fine friends Tanya of The True Vaults and Cori Burnett on make up duties. Both very talented ladies. I love portrait shoots with friends, lots of fun, especially when followed by a large bloody mary!!

Take a look at The True Vaults amazing video for No Goodbyes, directed by Grammy award winner Trish Sie (the lady behind the OK GO videos). There’s a link to a free download of the track there too!
