I photographed Jaime Jorge in my home studio in Olympia Fields, Il. Dave Dankovich was the art director.

I always liked listening to Jamie Jorge playing his violin. He has played his music around the world.

When I texted Jamie a week ago, he was excited that I writing a blog about his first CD cover. He remembered it like it was yesterday. I shot the image in B&W using a RB 6x7 Camera. A 2 1/4” negative would have given me a square image. Lighting the photograph was a little difficult, because the main light was lighting the the background and the model. I had to use a fill-in light to open up the dark shadows, on the models left side. It was always nice to use Polaroid film to show the art director and model what the image would look like. I shot 2 rolls of film and sent them off to Ross- Ehlert photo labs in Chicago. I normally process my own B&W film, but I was busy with another photo shoot that day. I always promised my clients the day there images would be ready.
