Shooting my good friend Jay is always a blast as no matter what the concept/style/theme of the shoot is, one thing is certain and that is I’ll be laughing my head off. This night was no exception. I thought I would try Jay for my alternative theme book that I am working on and happily he obliged. Lots of laughs between shots and let me just say his portrayal of anger, sadness and loneliness was a tad different from what I was expecting. Maybe the camera changes people’s expression or maybe I couldn’t get the story across of what I was looking for exactly as he was making me laugh too much. Anyway, I think after about a hundred frames, the last dozen or so finally clicked (pardon the pun) and we got something that I can definitely use. I’m split between the first and the third shot above. Which do you prefer?
Soundtrack to the shoot was Soundgarden’s album Badmotorfinger and Alice in Chain’s album Dirt.
I like the second one. There is an edginess with tranquility.
Oh, and my favourite one is the third one!
These are wonderful shots…such incredible flair you have.
