Justin Bieber LIVE on TODAY Show
This morning I covered Justin Bieber’s appearance on NBC’s TODAY Show in Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.
I had to arrive at the crack of dawn to wait, along with hoards of other press, while enduring the shrieks of Bieber’s diehard tween fans. I was in need of an Aspirin after this shoot. If headache is a symptom of Bieber Fever….I can certainly say I caught a case of it listening to them scream!
I quickly found that the press riser where many of the celebrity photographers lined up to shoot was not a viable option for me as I would’ve been crammed behind 40 other photographers. So I opted to shoot from the rear of the stage where nobody was shooting from. I really lucked out because I was able to pull off some nice frames shooting through the crazy fans. I like to stray from the pack and get something different….at least my photographs are unique versus everyone shooting from the riser getting the same canned shots.
I was also able to give Justin and his manager my prototype books containing the images from my all-access coverage at the Z100 JingleBall and they very much liked it, which made me quite happy. Perhaps a new project in the works!
Here’s the source of the headache:

Aww man, yesterday I had to wake up at 7AM, bullocks. But there was a redeeming qualities. I got to meet THE MUMMY! That’s right me and Brendan Fraser are tight like that.
The shoot was to follow around the executive producer of The TODAY Show and take a quick portrait. (Cant add those until they’re published.) It was fun walking all access around the studios and meeting the anchors. I brought a print for Meredith Vieira I took on her first day on the show.
Here’s a few pics:
