Murph from DInosaur Jr.

I saw this garage door on the way to the venue from the car and thought that it could be cool. By the time soundcheck was over it was dark, I had 10mn and wanted something cooler than the average "rocker dude in club" shot.

Started with just the lumiquest on him and wasn't getting the depth I wanted, his gf was along so she became my 2nd VAL holding a strobe to light the door.

I love the falloff to the left of the frame...

The background was in a club in Brooklyn, a red velvet drop with spotlights coming down creating deep red circles. I picked a corner with a seat to give it some depth. Used the bare strobes to cut him out from the back and drug the shutter to get the full effect if the back drop.

The ambient was so low everything not lit just drops to black, him wearing a black shirt just makes it even more extreme.
