Loads of things i would change about this photograph, for starters my background light is way to overpowered and i don't actually know what i was doing with the skin tones but this was from a time where my only way of learning new things in photography was by experimenting. I shot this in 2012 sometime, oh boy was that a long time i even have a BTS video from this shoot that someone filmed. I look around 10 years old in this video and i don't know what is going on with my hat but i thought it would be cool to share the behind the scenes.
This was shot so early on in my career, i didn't even have proper lights as you can see in the video. I was using a little 50 watt bare bulb strobe as a fill, kind of makes me cringe a little that i used to shoot like this but looking back at the end result it's actually not that bad and we all start somewhere. Luckily i wasn't so bad at photoshop back then and made up for my mistakes in the edit room. It's also kind of cool seeing all the people involved in this shoot are still doing what they love and kept up the work in their own respective fields.
Here is the behind the scenes video
