#TBT to when I photographed Beyonce’s first solo album art for #DangerouslyinLove, launching her solo superstar career, while I was a student @Princeton.

Beyonce and I were equally nervous starting the day, as she had already shot for her album with a famous photographer, and rejected the pictures, and the label wasn’t happy. It was up to me to create with her the image of the artist she was to become, and to come up with ideas to express the themes she wanted, “universe” “nature” and “power”. Luckily those themes resonated with me, and I had shot with her before for Destiny’s Child, so we had fun dancing on both shoots, and many others afterwards.
