Tokyo Shoot One

Pro Tip: See this shot on my flickr here, you should also add me as a contact there & follow me on twitter even if it’s just to abuse me.

Last Saturday I headed to Tokyo to do a shoot for a friend, & by a shoot I mean four. This is the first of the four. Unfortunately our original model let us down & we had to find a back up model at very short notice. Still manage to get some good shots out of the day. This first set up needed to be super dramatic so I had 2 softboxes on the left, one high one low, & a light behind on to some very cool skull wallpaper. You probably worked it out but the image on the right has been mirrored for the diptych composition. I’ll share a few of the other shots from the day tomorrow.
