Long story so I’m gonna split it up a little.

Couple months ago I got the opportunity to shoot a couple artists for Heatrock Ent. 3 Days. 3 Shoots. 3 Artists. One just happened to be Young Chris. He was working on a mixtape and needed some fresh pics.

This was shot with the Nikon D80 w/ 17-55mm f2.8 lens and the Alienbees ABR800 ringflash.

He was impressed with my turnaround time and quality of work so I got another call a month later for another mixtape that he was calling “Newprint” which is a dub of Jay-Z’s “Blueprint”

My original Shot

My Blueprint Edit

Final Mixtape Cover

I had no control over the final output. I just take the pics and send to the Art Director. You can find more info on the album and download @ www.mickboogie.com
