iStock RetroLypse Part 3 – Self Portrait

Here is the third and final part to my iStockphoto RetroLypse event series for you.

During the very last day of the event and right near the end of the day, I was one of the last shooters to have my turn at a location involving a super grungy jam session studio where musicians hang out and do their thing. The whole time everyone else was taking their turn, I was eyeballing two old sofas that were covered with junk and dust, but I could see had a lot of personality. There was also a stack of televisions in the corner of the room, which no one seemed to care to use. So when my turn came, I went to work with my unique shot.

The good thing about shooting last was that after I got my initial concept out, more models starting walking in after finishing with other shoots. The next thing I knew, I had ALL of the models in my shot. We did a few, but the image below was a clear favorite. Just before tearing down the lights, I decided that it would be a really cool self-portrait to be standing in the middle of all of the models in my scene. Actually, I should tell the truth and state that fellow photographer Fraser Dowall was actually the one who fired the shot. I simply handed him the camera and said, “Here, take one of me quickly.” Thanks Fraser.
