The emperor’s new clothes
November 24th, 2011A couple of days ago i shot yet another cover for LAJV Magazine. It was a portrait of Johan Pierre, aka Xavier. He’s a basketballplayer/rapper and now also T-shirt designer. The theme for the shoot was a little bit like The Empereor’s new clothes and the location we found was City Hall. One little problem was that it’s being renovated so we had almost no light at all. But things could have been worse 😀
We collected some props from some rooms there, a chair and some pillows. The crown, scepter and mantle had been manufactured by Finn at LAJV!
As for the lighting there was no surprises. Two Magnum reflectors 45 degrees from behind, ringflash and a couple of flashes lighting the stairs behind Johan.
