These pho­tos were fun to take. A group of great musi­cians who write music for tele­vi­sion and com­mer­cials called me when they needed some­thing fun for their Christ­mas card. So we ripped off the Devo look and used Santa hats instead of silly plas­tic things the band used. The top photo is the select. The sec­ond two are outtakes.

Light­ing was mul­ti­ple Speedotron packs and heads with reflec­tors as key and umbrel­las as fill. Stu­dio was an evening park­ing lot blacked out by some seri­ous watt seconds.
