I recently had the pleasure of shooting with Foot Klan again. Always a good time. This shoot was setup by my good friend Matthew Dutile. Hip hop dancing, photography, good friends and a sunset. That’s an invite you can’t pass up.
As the dancers started to roll in, we setup for some individual portraits rooftop and in the stairwell. For my portraits in the stairwell, I wanted something a bit urban and gritty. I setup in one of the areas that had strong natural back lighting and threw in a small strobe right up against the wall opposite of the sun.
As the sun started to set we headed back topside out to the middle of the parking ramp and let the dancers take over. We set them up with some dramatic back lighting and they put on a great show. I had the opportunity to practice with Foot Klan for a few months a couple of years ago, it was a lot of fun, but needless to say, I’ll leave the dancing to them and stay behind the camera.
