tinnitus photography says:

Todd, well done! it's great that yr first cover is of a freakin' huge band, too.

were you specifically shooting for them, or did they somehow become aware of that shot and approached you?

Todd | ishootshows.com says:

Hey all, thanks very much for all the kind words and support, I appreciate it!

I was shooting for another publication, but sent the images to my Live Nation contact. LN was interested in purchasing licensing rights to the image and also passed it along to DMB's management, and I am licensing the image to both parties.

Congratulations, Todd!
Now I can tell people, "I know who photographed this cover!" - LOL.
They should've kept your colors, though~~~ I guess it's easier to pick what colors to put against a B&W shot.

Hmmm... couldn't put this on your website~~~ It says the comments post.php can't be found. =S

outkasted_37 says:

Hey Todd, I hope you don't mind me asking... but how much do you charge for an album cover like this? IS it a one time fee ? Do they own the image?

thanks, Oh yeah I got me a 24-70mm/2.8. OH my how sweet this thing is! Colors on my D300 really match what I see.. Very happy.

Hey Todd I shot a local artist here in Bermuda who had a No.1 Reggae single across London and Europe...and parts of the U.S. including New York. the artists name was Collie Buddz.

I really did not know the possible impact that it would have, it was everywhere!
