This photo challenge to me was something a bit difficult but
something also completely new. I had
never considered myself able to shoot something “paparazzi” style, in fact, I
despise that style. A co-worker of mine
is friends with a man who plays in a bigger indie rock band that goes between
California and here. While using this to
my advantage I decided to tag along with them as they hung out one night. The image I chose was that of almost a basic
headshot but one that evoked something more than just being an image, this one
to me had a sense of life to it. It had
attitude and also portrayed the individual how he is. During the course of me tagging along I got
numerous shots of both individuals but I decided to make this about my
co-workers friend since I had used the co-worker as a subject before.
In post I had cropped the picture a tiny bit so it didn’t
look as awkward. The only lighting that
I used were the lights in the area which gave off an orange glow so I changed
the temperature a little. Aside from
that and a little exposure bump everything else was left as done in
camera. I had equipped my flash but
after a few images of harsh lighting I was not liking the way it came out so I
swapped to my 50mm 1.4 and opened the aperture up to get those ambient light
images.
