Tegan and Sara - AOL Music Interface

Photographed in Los Angeles on July 27, 2007
Photographer Quote: "Tegan and Sara are hilarious. On more than one occasion I found myself holding my aching sides, stifling laughter. Just them talking to each other and exchanging sarcastic barbs and glances had the power to bring me almost to tears. Add this to the fact that their dark and sweet songs and close harmonies were stuck in my head for days, and it's fair to say Tegan and Sara left their shoot with one more fan."

My Chemical Romance - AOL Music Sessions

Photographer Quote: "These guys were good sports. We had them standing in the middle of the street in a busy intersection at 9 PM with cars flying by them; they never flinched. Their music is powerful, aggressive, meaningful and deep."

Daughtry - AOL Music Sessions

Photographed in Sony studios in New York City on Nov. 20, 2006
Photographer Quote: "Shooting Daughtry was a great experience for me. Chris was fresh off American Idol and he had a hit record that was about to come out. It was great to see the band interact together. They were very humble and it seemed like they were enjoying the success that had come their way. Shooting Daughtry was a breeze. They were very professional and took direction wonderfully. I only shot about 50 frames and had a lot to choose from, which is extremely rare when shooting a group of five. This was one of my most memorable shoots to date."
