[ Betty Wright: Photos by www.DianaLevine.com ] A few days ago, Rolling Stone premiered an exclusive behind-the-scenes video of my album cover shoot for Betty Wright and The Roots for their album “Betty Wright: The Movie” — it’s beyond an honor to be featuring on RollingStone.com, and in the company of such a legend. You can watch the whole video online here.
You can check out the full set of photos from the shoot in the archive here.
[ Betty Wright | Photos by DianaLevine.com ] I just got my copy of the Betty Wright And The Roots album cover I shot in Miami back in July! I loooooove this album (“Betty Wright: The Movie”) — It’s an amazing thing to shoot an album that you seriously love. We shot the photos on South Beach in Miami earlier this year, and it was an incredible day with the legendary Ms. B. You can buy the album online here! The album, which was co-produced by Questlove of the Roots, features guest performances by Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Joss Stone, and More. Huge thanks to everyone on set for this shoot, especially Patrice Parker and Adoch Acemah, who helped with everything from styling, to hair, to props, to filming the behind-the-scenes video!

[Photo by http://www.dianalevine.com ] I’m so excited that Betty Wright released her album cover early! I shot this album cover for Betty Wright And The Roots in Miami a few months back, and I’m a HUGE fan of her music! The album “Betty Wright: The Movie” comes out November 15th, and you can pre-order your copy here! I’ll write more when the album is out, and will post more photos and the interior art then 
It was an amazing shoot, and Ms. B is an incredible artist, person, and just has the most beautiful spirit. It was an honor and pleasure to shoot her album cover, and I can’t wait for November 15th!
