Hey everyone! My friend Matt does incredible work, and we've been buddies since high school when we were both learning to play guitar. I remember getting hooked up with a BC Rich Warlock and trying to jam with Matt and some mutual friends, even though we only knew a few chords. Fast forward to now, and Matt has become an AV god—forming bands, building his own recording studio, and even setting up Joe Rogan's podcast studio when Joe moved to Austin.


Matt has put together an amazing team for Sound Shed AV Solutions, and we decided to go for an '80s/'90s cheesy portrait aesthetic for their shoot. We set up a huge backdrop in a warehouse, and they came prepared with different outfits and props. The results are fantastic and really capture that JC Penny vibe. Keep an eye out for more projects from Sound Shed AV Solutions! Check out some of my favorite shots below. If you need some fun, unique photos for your team, let's make it happen! Book your session with me at The Vinyl Lens today.
