Stefano Paolini: Renaissance Man

I have had the pleasure of photographing Stefano a couple of times at a local comedy club, he recently asked for some headshots for his forthcoming book about the internment of Italians during the Second World War, now available on Amazon here, as well as a few promo images for his comedy side of things.

We met up at Charborough Studios for a few hours and took a range of images that can be used in different situations.
I opted for a light grey background for the more serious images and a white background for the comedy images. I also mocked up an advert to show how the images can be used on a poster etc (see bottom)

As for the title of this blog piece -'Renaissance Man' because Stefano is a cracking Comedian, a published Author, and a mean Beatboxer!

The lighting set up was fairly simple, big umbrella as the main light, a hair light from the rear, and a light on the background when required
