Los Angeles based band, Short Story Long, gets updated promotional shots by Karri Brantley Photography.

Short Story Long  is a name of an incredible band located in the Los Angeles area who are getting ready to play at the infamous Roxy theatre in West Hollywood in a couple of weeks. When they saw the photos I did at Union Station they wanted to update a few shots and have some fun! I was game to play.

What I didn't know, and I don't think they did either, was we happened to randomly pick a day where it was 'Pants Optional Day' at Union Station. Yup. We couldn't have randomly picked a better day nor an amazing opportunity to use this to our advantage. The boys were ready to play as well and we had a blast. Although, it was one of the toughest shoots I've ever experienced. So many distractions and these guys were like rock stars....so to control the environment, was a bit of a challenge. These guys are great to work with and were super chill. I really LOVED working with them and cannot wait to see their upcoming show.

Get ready for awesome-ness.....

Karri Brantley Photography takes Los Angeles Actor/Model Portfolio Shoot at Union Station.

Discovering Union Station in Los Angeles has been one of my favorite things I've seen since moving to Hollywood over a year ago.



A friend of mine told me that she knew of a 'bunch' of people going there to shoot photographs and that the lighting was AMAZING. So I was excited to come up with this specific shooting location when I captured this local actor/modeling updated portfolio. We had ourselves a wonderful time. He is also an incredible photographer, so we both geeked out with the abundant locations and lighting when we arrived. Seriously, it was never ending......here is the amazing and beautiful visions of the very talented Dave Craze.
