Photo Shoot with Neck Deep and Real Friends

Met up with Neck Deep and Real Friends the other day in San Diego. I’ve worked with Neck Deep before on a few shoots however I had never really met Real Friends. I asked them if they wanted to do a quick 20-minute shoot behind the venue, and they were down. Here is what we came up with! I also stayed for the show – which was very impressive!

One thing I really noticed about this group of people- they are genuinely happy people. I loved it. I love it. You can see more happy in my behind the scenes video-

The live shows of both bands were very impressive. I couldn’t stay for all of Real Friends because I had to get home and sleep (I left for a tour the next day)
