Behind the Scenes with the Plain White T's & Chicago Fire FC

Chicago Fire FC reached out to me a few weeks ago about photographing the Plain White T’s in their secondary kits for a marketing campaign. The organization saw the kits and thought it was a pretty plain white tee so they reached out to the band because the concept was tongue-in-cheek and having a band from the Chicagoland area just seemed right. I’m glad the organization chose Reckless Records for the location because I pretty much grew up patronizing the original location that was right down the street. In between taking shots for the campaign with my Sony a7iii and Mamiya 645, I took these BTS photos on Ilford HP5 in a Contax G2 (lent from Film Objektiv) and on Kodak Portra 400 with my Olympus Stylus mju-ii.
