Champion Pole Dancer

Uk pole dance champion Jess Leanne Norris shows off her skills during the opening of a new fitness studio in Lancashire.

Two lights, cross lit. One slightly infront of Jess to the right of camera shot through a brolly and one slightly behind Jess to the left of camera zoomed at 200mm.

10 minute portrait.

Pendle composer, Peter Young at the Holy Trinity Church in Colne. Peter has created a concerto composed for the Titanic centenary this year.

The first two portraits were taken with one brolly high up to the right of camera with a 1/4 CTO gel and one flash directly behind Peter. The third picture, which got used in the paper was taken with the same brolly and gel but to the left of camera and dialed up a stop and again another flash on a gorrila pod mounted to a pew behind peter. Shutter was dragged to 1/50th to let some of the ambient light come into play. Strobist nonsense over.
