My first cover!

[BJWOK]

Hey folks,

Been shooting for Rip It Up Magazine since July last year and have just recently done my first (ever) cover shoot!

I directed the shoot (as well as take it, obviously), and I also supplied shots "as is" and "art processed" versions. The art processed one was the one that was used!

The idea was 6 bands that are set to make it big this year. 1 member from each band was invited to the shoot. The bands were:

The Waterslides
Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire!
Lumonics
The Shiny Brights
Antony Of The Future
The Vampirates

Here it is:
