RETRO REVIEWS

When this album came out Danger Mouse was arguably one of the hottest producers. In late 2009, Paste Magazine named him the best producer of the decade (2000-2009). In 2004 he released The Grey Album, a combination of a capella versions of Jay Z’s Black Album and Instrumental samples from The Beatles’ White Album. The album led to collaborations with Damon Albarn of Gorillaz, MF Doom, CeeLo Green, Jack White, Beck, and The Black Keys all before eventually collaborating with The Shins frontman, James Mercer as Broken Bells in 2010.

Photographing artists with large hats is always a challenge as most of the time, they cast their face in dark shadows. For Orville’s show, the light was pretty manageable, so the biggest challenge was to pick my spots and wait for moments where his face was in view. After a while of doing this, you get pretty good at anticipating lighting changes and body movements based upon the dynamics of the music and use that to give the best chance to be in the right place at the right time with the right settings.
