I shot a few photographs for my friend and music producer Graham last week. I have done photographs for him years ago when we lived together in Newport while at Uni. I am always looking for subjects to try out new ideas and experimental lighting setups on so we went down to a bit of disused railway in Bristol to try to make some sort of edgy urban portraits.

This type of photo are not really my strong point and I have never really been required to do this for any job. Which is why I was keen to do them as a personal project for a bit of fun and to learn something new.
They didnt work out the way I was imagining as I was hoping to do something a bit like US band photographers Joey L, Dave Hill and Joel Grimes (Google them) but seeing as I only had two small lights with a softbox and a few grids I struggled get the right lighting for the look I was hoping to achieve.
I really bugs me when I know I could have done better, however I always find that I learn alot more from my mistakes than I do from nailing it. Next time I try some photos in this style they will hopefully be a bit closer to the desired look……..with more time, another light, better modifiers and some gels.
