The State of the Streets



I was contacted by Rob G's manager, Charles Chavez of Latium Entertainment, for this assignment. He let me know that they were getting ready for some big project releases for Rob G and would be needing some photographs and designs. I have been able to photograph many Rob G concert performances at various concerts I cover and was glad to be able to use this assignment to photograph Rob in more of a controlled lighting environment.

Rob came down to Austin from Houston for the shoot. My team and I set up just behind a recently burned down bar located on downtown 6th Street. The resulting images were to be used for Rob G's "The State of The Streets" mixtape, which I was also also hired to design, and for a press image to be used for an upcoming Ozone magazine write-up.

Rob G's debut album "The Inaguration" is set for release in the fall of 07' on Latium / Universal Records.
