A concept test shoot, as I work on visuals and music videos for Kilkenny-based progressive grunge experiment The Lions Mane. My first time using a lighting box, surrounded by three construction lights, shooting on my 18-135mm lens (which hasn’t been used in about a year).
The Lions Mane debut album ‘Strands‘ is now available exclusively on www.iamthelionsmane.com. You can watch my behind the scenes video from this shoot here on the Oss237.com Blog.

Strobist: 50mm lens, I can’t remember the exact settings as I tested several, SB800 at half-power positioned in the corner of the room using the glow from my iMac, Powerbook G4 and a Canon HG10 as back lighting.

Slowly but surely catching up on my huge backlog of work, did a little playing around in photoshop on this one to remove the bass guitar leaving only the string. More of a test than anything else as I have some ideas I want to try out.
