Default I kick you in the face!



I would like to introduce you to, "Big Jay". My lighting assistant / body guard during photo shoots. Yup, he's the guy that carry's my photo equipment around and watches it while I'm taking pictures.. Take a kick from a 284lb, 6'2, muay thai fighter.

AB800 camera left in a silver umbrella. I was going for a really dark look and am quite happy with the result. The space was pretty tight. There were others around to so I also had to make sure they didn't get into any of the shots.

Exposure: 0.006 sec (1/160)
Aperture: f/8.0
Focal Length: 48 mm

A Little too dark-a good shot, though- I just used a little match color and local contrast enhancement. Regards, Ken

I like the darker picture. Not because jason took it or because ken edited it but because I'm a martial artist and would prefer it darker so I don't see the things in the background. The subject of the picture is the muay thai fighter and not the things in the background.

No wonder you have all the hotties modeling for you, You hire you're own bodyguard. Now I have to revamp my entire business plan. ha ha, jj. Great photo. Darkness does remind me of a "kick boxer, Van Damme movie" Please don't tell him I called him Van Damme, he's liable to use my melon between my ears as his new target.
