It was great to reconnect with @beartoothband for @revolvermag. I wanted to honor the album art that @tnsndvsn made for their new album so I decided to work within the same purple color palette. I was happy that @calebshomo was so patient and willing to let me experiment on making the image that ended up running as the newsstand cover.

It was a deceptively simple setup (just a flash, a sheet of plexi, and a projector) but super technical when it came to angle, distance, focal length, and aperture. Thanks as always to Jimmy and the crew at Revolver for the opportunity.
