Barry Brecheisen

Barry Brecheisen is an American freelance photographer based in Chicago, Illinois. He was commissioned by Rolling Stone to do a photoshoot for American rapper Lupe Fiasco ahead of the debut album release, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor (2006). It was held at Wacker Drive in Chicago. On his website, Brecheisen recalled, "I left the next day on a flight that was too early for the amount of sleep I had, but better safe than tardy. Which in turn is what Lupe was and changed the time frame for the shoot a few times that day. […] He too, as it turned out, had just flown in to Chicago that day as well. While I was waiting for him to show, I saw the possibilities of using this sign of a parking garage. As I was shooting, I saw the possibilities of the words spelling out You Are King, well sort of…"
He continued, "Looking at it now I think it works. Especially for a rapper that has the whole world ahead of him. I think I needed to play with it a little more and gave up on that idea too soon. Perhaps had him block the writing with his body but I think shooting in the other direction was a little less picturesque. Maybe I'll come back to this with a future session. From there we started to walk south on Wabash for a block. I had an idea to go into another parking garage and treat the moment as a day for night shoot. With my handy flash bar, I would drag the shutter and give the image a warm quality to trick us into thinking this was night time and not the middle of the afternoon."Brecheisen, Barry (August 25, 2006). "Lupe Fiasco".
