Bondeko at Thompsons Point

Portland, ME - 9.14.23

This group of guys was such a joy to work with! Their friendly & various personalities really made it a breeze, even between the language barriers. I really love when I'm able to not only connect with my clients, but when our shoot feels like a hang out. Being able to let loose and just be yourselves is such a rewarding experience for both parties. Not to mention, this level of comfort really makes for the best photos!

Bondeko is a group of musicians originating from Albania, Guinea, Texas and Paris. Their music is derived from their personal origins & collaborated together to make a new cultural sound. This fact alone made them the perfect musical candidates for the event Prosperity ME held last Thursday. Prosperity ME is an organization formed to assist immigrants in Portland with finance, education & housing needs. This event was in celebration of their 15th year, & I am overjoyed that I got to be part of it!
