I must admit the idea of shooting a couples portrait wouldn't normally appeal to me. They can look a bit on the cheesey side and just not really my thing. So I was a bit reluctant when organising a shoot with Eefa, a stunning model from Dublin, when she suggested her boyfriend jumps in for a few shots.
Thankfully she didnt want to do the whole "staring lovingly into each others eyes" thing and instead we shot a moody dark portrait that looks like it could be a promo shot for some cool new band.
Definitely a nice reminder to myself to keep an open mind with shoot ideas. I'm delighted with how it turned out so just wanted to share it.
I absolutely love this. fantastic work my friend. :) 5* Bro

How did you light this shot?
Hi Yannig, it was a one light setup for this shot. It was a speedlight into a 120cm octobox which was mounted in front of them on a boom stand. The light was just barely above the frame of the shot and pointed almost directly down for dramatic effect (tilted back towards them just a bit so their eyes didn't get too lost in shadows).
Superb shot. Great colours. Nice use of the worn out sofa :) How much editing was done ?
