Gang life II
Uploaded: May 06, 2009 04:53:15
My photography brought me to the Bahamas this weekend and I had some downtime... I came across some gang bangers and they were kind enough to allow me to shoot them.... A really rough group of people...but after a few minutes of showing them what I can capture they were all into the camera.... Amazing really!!!! This was not shot in the studio. It was shot in the streets of the Bahamas...On this shot I placed the gang member in the shadows and the backdrop was direct sunlight... I added a ton of flash with a SB-800, spot metered and overexposed. I have been reading hot shoe diaries by Joe McNally...great book
I hope they like what I got.... that was the deal, that they get a copy of all the shots
Comments and suggestions welcome.
Cheers, joe
