Working with Sandpeople has produced a basket of creative challenges over the last few years, from photographing a group of 13 artists, to aiding in the film making of their music video “Roll Call”.
No matter the project, or time of day, the crew has character spilling out of them. They are a lively bunch, full of inside jokes, and they are the most talented collection of hiphop song writers.

The new (ep) project, “Long Story, Short…” was decidely ready for release, and Sandpeople wanted to include the verve of their loyal fanbase in the artwork. So we assembled the crowds, packed them into Berbati’s Pan cloaked in white tees and Sandpeople branded hankerchefs. Everyone was cool, and well behaved for such a number of folks. I was able to utilize the height of the stage, and capture the extent of the crowd fading into darkness behind the group.
