A few behind the scenes snapshots and one alternate look from a recent shoot with Sharon Van Etten at The Metropolitan Building in Long Island City.
Art direction by Christine Be.
Two final selects from the shoot can be seen in the Musicians portfolio on my website, here.
Sharon’s debut album, Because I Was In Love, is available on iTunes and her original, eponymous self-release is available through her online store. Sharon’s moving, soulful voice and intimate lyrics are offset by her softly strummed acoustic guitar, and are accompanied by a trembling organ on standout track For You, the video for which can be seen at Pitchfork.
I’ve had the opportunity to see Sharon perform in small, dimly lit rooms around Brooklyn. If you happen to see her name on a flyer for an upcoming show or in the concert listings of, say, The Village Voice, don’t hesitate to see her live, to hear her voice- equal parts longing and lamentation, fill the space around you and in your heart. As you can tell, I’m a big fan.
Sharon can be seen on tour this fall with Toronto’s Great Lake Swimmers.
