When photographers shoot other photographers


Another frame from my Epic Nashville series features Rory White aka “Rorshak” many know him as the infamous  front man for the band Copa, others as a conceptual photographer, all as the eater of durian, but I know him as an irreplaceable comrade in arms. I call this photo – “My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. 

Epic Nashville


I have made the decision to capture Nashville and hold nothing back. A series, still in search of a title, that will capture local musicians in their native habitat. My hometown overflows the brim with characters brewing forth sonic talent. The time has come to take full advantage of this and burn these unsung Nashville heroes into my sensor. And so, it has begun; February places ToddZilla, the musical monster of mythical proportion, front and center in both lens and city where he will devour the tallest building with a single sound and style that is all his own. 

Cory Basil for Native magazine


Cory Basil now officially qualifies as one of my favorite creative talents ever. He’s a brilliant author, illustrator, painter and other stuff I’m not supposed to mention yet. Mysterious, yes, but with a well-defined vibe all his own. Fun shoot.
