This is Gage Reagan. He's pretty much a badass at anything related to cameras. Here, he's helping me shoot Chrome Lotus, the hottest new band you've never heard.

This is what I (Matt Ebso) look like when I'm working. I spend a lot of time with my face in a screen or my ears between speakers. So I think the back of my head is the view my clients are most familiar with. 😂

We're getting close to wrapping up a big production project for Chrome Lotus! Here's a photo from the day of the shoot. This is Jalen Russell. He absolutely CRUSHED it on the audio recording. Look how happy he is. It's hard to believe you're looking at the face of someone who only got 2 hours of sleep the night before. That's how you know he loves what he does.
