SNACKS FOR YOUR EYES: Serious Boyfriend

Serious Boyfriend








Here are selects from I shoot that I did of my friend David R for his website. He wanted to mimic and parody the notion of what it means to be a 'serious boyfriend'. We dressed him up in a suit and bought flowers - clearly the definition of a serious boyfriend.
You can see the rest of the shoot here:
and the final results here.

This shoot gave me an opportunity to test out an idea that I have had for a couple of years. Using a projection screen as a backdrop with natural light, I was able to mimic the feel of a studio. What I think is more interesting is when I took a few steps back and you can see the subject in front of the backdrop, but also you get a glimpse of the rest of the surroundings (in this case the street.) I like how this gives context to the portrait. Its like putting a stage up on the street.

Cheers,
