I am trying to be more reguler with my blog. Its hard because when the work is happening then there is no work there is nothing to talk about. I need more discipline and more time. Anyway Monday night we shot up in a water drainage bowl above Los Angeles. I had met these guys that skateboard up there and they told me about the place. Its a cement bowl about an eight of a mile from the road that is covered in graffiti. It seemed a little scary to be up there at night but they assured me that it was not a problem…very often.
Well I went up and scouted the place with one of the skateboarders. I wanted it to be a portrait shot at night. In my head I could see one of the guys up front and the other coming over the jump in the back. We arrived at about 5 p.m.the day of the shoot and loaded all our equipment onto a mag liner. We took a small generator, 3 Photoflex Mono Blocks and 1 2400 wts second speed-o-tron pack. It was a lot of stuff to push up the mountain. Its hard for me to travel to light. I like to be ready to solve any problem that may come along.
We shot a few images of the guys on the graffiti before the sun went down.
Then we set up and shot 2 different images to compose with a background shot I had already shot.
