Ollie & I did a spot of trespassing tonight to grab a nice simple portrait with a cool backdrop. Ollie is rad, he recently biked the entire length of the country… crazy bastard. I was traveling light tonight, as we had to hop ditch & scale a fence to get in, so just the single light & my Apollo. I really enjoy shooting with just one light, complicated doesn’t always mean better.
P.s. on the way out I totally managed to step in the ditch & get a soggy foot. Pro tip, don’t step in ditches.
Watch Me
