Been wanting to shoot my friend Amber for a while, she’s not totally into getting her photo taken but I think I asked so many times that she finally gave in. The weather was kinda crap tonight so we ended up shooting in the attic above Coffee Aroma, it was a pretty cool location but really tight to get my lights in. I ended up with one light extended right out of the window on a light stand that I taped to my tripod to stop it from falling out. I like doing stupid stuff. Check the video, let me know what you think.

If that’s a tattoo on her leg, did you intend to have that eye (on her leg) visible?
RickNunn
Thanks everyone!
KennyMiller Yeah it’s a tattoo, and yep we ripped the tights just in the right spot to let the eye through.
