Stu

Stu is the photographer for the Birds of Wisdom, and he takes the job very seriously.

He and his dad spent many years photographing weddings and bar mitzvahs, where Stu learned one lesson he still swears by: lighting can make or break a photograph.

The band loves him dearly, although they'll admit he can be a bit of a pain in the you-know-what. Stu is forever stopping everyone because he spotted the perfect light—or because he has decided the shot would be much more interesting from some strange angle that requires another ten minutes to set up.

The results are usually worth it.

Stu owns an impressive collection of cameras, both film and digital, and nobody ever knows which one he'll bring along. He is also perpetually searching for the perfect camera bag.

Apparently Dior isn't the only bird with this problem.

When Stu isn't taking photographs or developing film, he's usually building LEGO sets. His collection is extensive, but the food trucks are his favorites.

Stu is a quiet bird who prefers pictures to words.

So if you're hoping for a long conversation, you have about two minutes.

Use them wisely.
