Quick and Dirty

This is a quick and dirty portrait I shot for the Clackamas Review. It was one of those things were I had another shoot 20 minutes later so only had about 5-10 minutes to setup and shoot this one....I hate that....anyway, so this is what I came up with. I wanted to get the pins in there somehow, so we walked down to the end of the alley on lane 16, there is a 2-3 foot wide walkway and I set up a speedlight right in front of him and bounced it off the nice white wall to my right. With more time I would have lit the background up with a gel or something or would have gone when they had night bowl (black lights) going, but with newspapers sometimes you do not get that luxury, for what it is, this will work.
