Notes

• I took this on Saturday afternoon while shooting headshots with an actor called Will de Meo. We met when I did the portraits for a film currently in pre-production called Grasshopping last year. We'd been trying to sort out a day to do his headshots for a couple of months and finally our diaries coincided yesterday. He wanted some outdoors shots so I took him to a secluded public garden in the Bishops Park area of Putney. It was bloody cold, so I'll have to do a little Photoshop on his red nose, but we got some nice shots. I was lighting with a couple of flashes, although in the end we settled for one flash with a Lumiquest Softbox III as the key light, and backlit by the bright winter sun.

  He also wanted a couple of less headshot-ish looks for his website so we grabbed a few others and this is one of my favourites. It was originally a much warmer shot, brought over to CS4 from Capture NX2, but I decided I preferred the colder, slightly green-tinged look that this version has.
