Shaun Murray poses for Profile

TSQ Location: Book 1.2, Profile section, page 46

I called up Murray to get an opening shot done for his profile section. We shot two different ideas that evening but this one took the cake.

Near my house in Orlando, FL, I kept driving past this old beat up building that had an unusually black square block painted on the wall. I drove past it numerous times before actually getting the opportunity to shoot somebody standing in front of it. The green vine that has grown over the black box made for a perfect photo op.

I used a few flashes, had Murray stand there for a few shots, and began snappin away. Now, each time I pass by the building I can’t help but take a quick glance where we took the shot. Now, the only difference is, that overly grown green vine has been removed. I guess somebody just ripped it down realizing it was taking over the side of the building. Perfect for The Standerd, in the sense that Murray’s profile will be the only place to find such a photo. Getting that vine to grow back will take years. Boooyaaa!
