I had the opportunity today to photograph the band Ola Podrida, a local folk rock group, for the Statesman. The paper was looking for a few shots of the band before they embark on a U.S. tour in early July. I started with an informal portrait of the band as a group then photographed them as they rehearsed for their tour. The guys were nice enough to allow me to hang out for a couple hours during the rehearsal. I recommend checking out their music and a live show if they’re coming to your area.
