I took this photo in the recording studio during the filming of 'The Distance Between,' my good friend Walker Wood's sophomore album. Let me tell you, flash bouncing off angled acoustic tiles is a pain in the a$$. This is one of my favorite photos.

Priceless II

  • Mood: Lazy
  • Listening to: Social Distortion
  • Reading: Pitchfork Media
  • Watching: the BBC
  • Drinking: Guinness
Ok, so I'm sitting here, listening to Social D, having a slow starting Sunday morning. I've posted the photo "Priceless II" on a couple of websites, and have received a flood of emails/notes asking how I lit the shot. Some people have been curious for the purpose of learning more, and ohers have been bored pros guessing at the lights.

This shot was complete natural light. It was a serious challenge, but I am rather satisfied with the results. the only photoshopping was the 8X10 crop requested by the customer, the sepia toning, and the scratches and stains. the image itself is untweaked in terms of exposure, contrast etc.

I abhor artificial lighting. at most I might use a scrim, and maybe a single speedlight...maybe, but probably not. I find that working with only the light which nature provides is a demanding and rewarding philosophy. I don't always get it right, but when I do, the results are good.
