The Pianist

"Come to the Northside of the V. The C the R the E the S T" - 2 Hard for the F***** Radio: Mac Dre

 

#battle is really a fun group. Post a picture and someone's bound to come at you with their photo. That's what happened to my Revenge of the High Hat photo. Originally, it was a response to @Shaznyc Skateboard Assassins. Now C. Strife comes at me with \m/

 

Not one to back down I come back as The Pianist. I don't play covers I write my own music son! Actually, no, I play covers :P

 

Main lighting was provided by a 580EX overhead in a shoot through umbrella (I really, really, really, need to buy a boom stand). To give the front of my body and the piano a bit of lift I placed another 580EX on a light stand out of frame camera left. Background lighting was provided by a 430EX on the floor.

1 580EX II 1/1 power shoot through umbrella (side facing back wall has been covered) above me and the piano
