Yep, that's me up late again as usual trying to finish some last minute deliverables. But of course I got distracted and thought, hey this scene might make for an interesting photo! So there :p

PS. Oh and excuse the mess. Someday I'll get up to the task of cleaning up the garage :)

On slow nights such as this one, me and my best bud Mark usually end up venturing out with a concept in mind, take on an alternate persona, and document the craziness through the viewfinder.

What's awesome is that it is during these nights that we get to exercise our creativity and explore lighting techniques that we normally don't use during our contracted shoots. Why? Well, mostly because so far, our usual clientele want clean looking photos. None of that grunge-y dramatic look that both of us love to produce during our conceptual night-outs.

But hey it's all good. At the end of the day, it's about churning out what the client wants. And if they are happy, then we are happy :)

For the meantime, we are content expanding our lighting knowledge through our guinea pigging strobist adventures.
