My corner
I had the opportunity this week to photograph an up and coming local band, 69 High. It was one of the most fun and easy shoots I've had thus far. They played during the shoot, and I found that they have a great, eclectic sound and are full of big personality! Chelsie, the lead singer, is a hip college student at TCC and fraternal twins Giuseppe and Santino, also students, are the bands lead guitarists. I throughly enjoyed this shoot, as their natural chemistry made for some great pictures. I also got to know a little about the band and each of their members.
69 high
69 High is a new band out of Norfolk, VA. They met each other and found out they had common interest in music. Once the trio got together to play, they vibed quickly and developed their own unique sound. All of their songs are originals, and it shows; a certain emotion goes into songs you compose yourself. The group meshes together really well. Their energy oozes the memories of what it is like to be in your 20s...That amazing time in your life when everything is possible. They describe their sound as "alternative pop/rock."
Meet the band
Lead Singer: Chelsie Owens
Chelsie is a very driven girl. She a full time student, employee and pursues modeling and her musical goals on the side. She is bubbly, personable and full of energy. I have photographed her before and as usual, she was naturally great in front of the camera. Her free but determined nature makes taking on the lead singing role in a band a good fit for her personality.

Philadelphia, PA born Italian twin Santino proved super energetic! He was jumping and bouncing around everywhere seeming completely comfortable in his own skin. His lighthearted presence made the atmosphere feel easy. He was always joking around with a smile on his face, and easily make me feel comfortable.

Giuseppe Tedesco: Lead Guitar
Layed back, cool calm and collected, Giuseppe channels a more humble vibe. Though they are twins, these guys couldn't be any more different. His style feels slightly boho which he wears well, the slouch cap, the layers, the cool vibe. Giuseppe was very personable, a little shy but down to earth guy with classic Italian good looks.
