Aaron Kippola Photo Project

I’m working with Aaron Kippola shooting pictures for his upcoming CD covers and web site under development by Middle Ear Media…
Here’s a couple pictures from the first shoot. The location was a very old barn in an undisclosed location and I lit it with a Vivitar 280 shot through a 32 in. umbrella. Key light is from my Speedlight 580ex with a snoot to control light spill..
The first image here is a happy accident. Technically there’s no reason to have the light source in the image but I like the way it ended up looking…

I like the “happy accident” too. It doesn’t distract from Aaron. Instead, to me it says “hey, I can’t be bothered with all this photography stuff — I’m playing my guitar.”

I would have to agree with Sean in the case of the ‘happy accident.’ It’s stuck me because that light is so discontinuous from the rest of the space that I was drawn to that corner of the photo; and then almost instantly I became aware that Aaron is lit too… it all read like a poem. From there I then became very interested in what else was taking place in the scene… like that chair and the hay scattered around the base of the light…
