Ant Series 1

This was the beginning of our session. I started by having Ant sit on a big white chair in front of a white seamless backdrop.

Ant had this cool suit he wanted to wear. I had him put on music he could groove to and then I captured his reaction to the music. Steven jumped in and suggested we try this without the tie, which really helped relax things and I think make Ant look more suave. We ended the shoot with some stylish posed shots.

Again, Steven jumps in and suggests that Ant try using his black leather jacket. The jacket complimented Ant's existing outfit and contrasted well against the seamless white backdrop.

Ant Series 4

In this series we switched to a black backdrop. The idea was to create moody, intimate, black and white photographs. I had Ant put on one of his more casual shirts and Steven held a gold reflector as a fill.

In this final series of images, Ant appears more contemplative. The glasses he is wearing adds to this effect, giving the sense that he is focusing on something.
