Wayne Isham
Wayne Isham built a career on high-energy performance videos shot with rapid cutting and dramatic lighting, particularly in the rock and pop arenas from the mid-'80s onward. His work with Bon Jovi on "Livin' On A Prayer" and Metallica's "Enter Sandman" established his style of intercutting live footage with narrative sequences. By the late '90s, Isham transitioned smoothly into boy band territory, directing Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" and *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye." He maintained an especially close working relationship with Bon Jovi across multiple projects.
