According to Video Static, this is a picture of Mike Shinoda and director Laurent Briet on the set of the video shoot for Fort Minor's debut single "Believe Me". More details to follow... Laurent Briet is a visual effects director with the Microsoft XBOX Branding company, and has been an visual effects artist on numerous music videos, including Garbage's "You Look So Fine", and Jay-Z's "Girl's Best Friend", and on commercials for Nike, XBOX, Powerade, and Coca-Cola, and in the films "One Hour Photo" and "The Ring". Thanks to Paul and LPFuse!
Mike looks way different then when I've seen him last at the Live 8 Concert. All I can say is I can't wait for Fort Minor to come out.
Looks like Mike has a personal groomer, just for his face, that does everything from eyebrows to applying a crap load of make up.
