Before The Devil Steals Our Tango



So, went to Risoer today to shoot another band. For free again, just to get some experience and some shots for my portfolio. I'm really, really satisfied with this shot! Turned out exactly the way I pictured it in my head. Think this is one of the better shots I've ever done.

Second band shoot ever by the way. I'm really not used to shooting people like this, and use different modifiers and stuff, and have to think about details and shadows and all. But I like it!

Shot this with both my Bronica SQ-A and Nikon F80 as well!

I think it's great too - the lighting is superb!

Also, did you plan to take the sofa or did it just happen to be there?

Yes that's what I meant.

I asked as landscape didn't seem the obvious orientation (with sofa) so wondered if you had a set 'space' to fill in print somewhere - but think it works really well.
