Above is Mr Tom Holmes, top comedian, doing very well on the circuit at the moment.I met him at The Cornerhouse pub in Windsor, a good venue for stand up and took a few pictures of him performing.
We recently got together for a shoot to get a variety of images he can use for PR and Press use, flyers, poster etc.
We did a few variations in lighting, backgrounds, and posing so he had a wide variety to choose from depending on the use for the image.
For the lighting, I set up a white background and lit it to pure white, reason being a can 'enlarge' the background in Photoshop to incorporate text or other images.
I lit Tom with one umbrella and sometimes a weak fill light to put detail in the shadows with the white background.
The third image down was the grey background lit by one light laying on the floor for some drama and the one umbrella in front of him.
Tom was very good at getting some great looks and poses and it all comes together when the subject and photographer work together to produce some great images.
After a couple of hours we had a large variety of images to work with.

Oh, by the way-he's hilarious
