test shots in ec2

last week i had to shoot some portraits of a very famous japanese chef.

while he was putting on his jacket i asked one of the girls who work at

the restaurant to stand in for him while i sorted out the lighting.

here's one of the test shots

and here's another effort

the girl kind of reminded me of somebody

( this always happens to me when i shoot portraits )

anyway the lighting looked fine and a few minutes later i was trying to 

tell a chef with 7 michelin stars how to pose like a boss via a translator.

good times in ec2
