Last month, I photographed Robert Delong for Billboard. You can check out the full gallery of photos here on Billboard.com. It was really amazing to watch him perform – it wasn’t like anything I’ve ever seen before! Since the shoot, I’ve watched his music video for Global Concepts about 25 times — the song and video are both SO good! And I loved seeing him perform later that week on David Letterman. His new album, Just Movement, was released on February 5th, on Glassnote Records. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Robert!

Earlier this month, I shot my 3rd mix tape / album cover for Hoodie Allen. His new mixtape, Crew Cuts, was just released, and you can go listen and download it online here. We had a blast photographing the cover at a barber shop downtown, and I’m psyched for all of Hoodie’s success. You can check out our previous photo shoots online here.

Behind-the-scenes photo of CL and I at lunch during the shoot:

Last week, I photographed a Day in the Life of the talented+gorgeous CL from 2NE1 for Billboard. (Check out the gallery on Billboard here). 2NE1 is a Korean pop sensation – if you haven’t heard them yet, check out their music videos for I Love You, Lonely, and I Am The Best. We started at her hotel, and then swung by the Jeremy Scott fashion show (he designed 2nE1′s world tour clothing). There, she met up with A$AP Rocky, Terry Richardson, Jeremy Scott, and more. After, we had lunch with her friend Jesse Jo Stark, a stop at a photobooth, back to the hotel, and some shopping. CL and her whole crew are wonderful, and it was a blast to photograph her again. (Check out my photos of 2nE1 from 2012 online here). [ Day in the Life: CL for Billboard. Photos by DianaLevine.com ]

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of shooting Ed Sheeran for Rolling Stone. You can check out the gallery on RollingStone.com here. We had a super busy day – radio interviews with Z100, WPLJ, Fuse, MTV, a stop at Atlantic Records, and then off to his sold-out show at Radio City Music Hall. I photographed him about a year ago, and it’s amazing to see how much has happened to his career in the past year. I can’t wait to watch him perform a duet with Elton John on the Grammy’s, and will be rooting for him to win the grammy he’s been nominated for! He couldn’t be a kinder, more genuine person, and I had so much fun with his whole crew. I was blown away by his loyal fans (or “Sheerios” as some call themselves!) – they were waiting outside for him everywhere we went! He tried to meet and take a photo or give an autograph to every fan that was waiting for him.

Here’s a quick behind-the-scenes photo of me and Ed, taken in the green room at NBC:

Last week, I had the pleasure of photographing a Day in the Life of Swizz Beatz for Billboard. It was a really amazing day – we began at a Music Unites event at the Intrepid, which is devoted to creating and continuing music education in underfunded schools. We spent time at his recording studio, stopped by an art gallery, got dinner, and finished the day backstage at VH1′s Save the Music event at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square. Here’s a quick behind-the-scenes photo with Waka Flocka Flame, Swizz Beatz, and French Montana.

Last week, I photographed Conor Maynard for Rolling Stone. I had such a blast with him and his crew and label! You can check out the gallery on RollingStone.com here. He is such a funny, kind person and has a true love of his work, his fans, and his favorite foods! He just released an album, Contrast. We spent the day doing interviews with Fuse, Music Choice, and more, and ended the day at his sold-out show at Webster Hall.

At the end of last year, I had the pleasure of photographing Tegan and Sara for Billboard’s Candid Covers series. I photographed T&S a few years back, with Hayley Williams of Paramore, in Long Island, so it was a blast to catch up with them and hear about all their adventures. In addition to being ridiculously talented, these girls are hilarious, kind, and a blast to be around.

Last month, I had the pleasure of photographing the oh-so-beautiful and talented Colbie Caillet for Billboard, as part of Merry Melodies, Stars Sing Holiday Hits, presented by Starbucks. You can check out the photos on Billboard.com here. I loved photographing her — she’s a breeze to work with and it was awesome to listen to her performing for Billboard.

And a huge thank you to North Shore Living, for including me in their contributor’s page!

Earlier this summer, I photographed the legendary actor David Morse for North Shore Magazine. We had a blast shooting on location at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It was a ridiculously hot July summer day, and was on-and-off down-pouring rain. But, lucky, the rain stopped literally 10 minutes before our shoot began, and we had a blast. In addition to being a wonderful guy to be around, David has starred in an endless list of well-loved movies and TV shows (he currently stars in HBO’s Treme, and has also starred in Contact, The Green Mile, and shows like House, Hack, and St. Elsewhere – check out his IMDB for a full list). Many thanks to North Shore Mag for including me in their contributor’s page! This shoot was art directed by Robert Parsons, whose portfolio you can check online here!

And some photos from the panel, the next day:

Here are tons of photos from the gallery exhibit I was part of last week for Gizmodo and Intel. Earlier this summer, I was one of 6 photographers that Intel flew to 6 different cities to complete a “photo challenge.” And they filmed the whole thing! Here was my spot:

And this past week, Gizmodo set up a gallery in downtown Manhattan and flew all the photographers into the city for the opening and a panel. The first night was the opening, and was such a blast. It was awesome to get to know the other photographers in person after seeing their videos, and it was great to catch up with lots of old friends and meet new ones.

Resource Magazine made a great video about the opening night, you can check it out here!

And Gizmodo put together a gallery of photos from the exhibit online here.

Thanks SO much to everyone who worked on this project, especially Sam, Ray, Jon, Corwin, Lance, Julia, Seth, and everyone at Gawker, Gizmodo, Intel, and Click3x!

Also thank you so much to Gary He and Halley Parry from Resource Magazine for the great photos!!
