In early July of 2015, I was able to follow Shatterproof into the legendary Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado as they recorded two new songs. After photographing the Rockstar Mayhem Festival at Red Rocks Amphitheater, I hit the road for an hour drive north to Branson and Ben's house. I spent the next three days capturing their time in the studio. Here are the images I captured in chronological order. The photographs were created with a Canon 60d. Tamron 17-50mm 2.8, Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 and Canon 50mm 1.8.

Fresh pots (aka coffee) are an essential part of any creative process.

The guys with their engineer Chris Beeble. Such a great guy and it was really fun to watch him work.

Myself with all the guys

I always enjoy getting to spend some time with these guys. It was awesome getting to watch them create, shape and reform their songs and it gave me a lot of inspiration to work on my own art. If you haven't already, make sure you are following them and give them a listen!
