Brooklyn, New York * July 2013 * Fuji X-E1

What do Katy Perry, Salma Hayek, Azealia Banks and my brother have in common? Hyperballad. A Brooklyn-based music collective of supremely talented gentlemen, Hyperballad produces, for all intents and purposes, the sweetest beats around for film, TV and Internet. My brother, DJ Hammer, happens to be a major contributor to this talented group. One afternoon in July, I photographed the lovely bunch in their Brooklyn studio element. Surrounded by synthesizers, instruments, microphones and lots of coffee mugs, I christened my brand-spanking-new Fuji X-E1 and made them pose for portraits. These photographs are my personal favorites from behind the scenes on that hot summer day. Check out the full Hyperballad scoop at http://hyperballadmusic.com/.
