Private Eye…

Yes, it’s another photo instead of a proper post. Taken backstage during the run of ‘City of Angels’, this is the guy playing Stone, a private investigator and one of the lead characters. The processing included some quite heavy tinting, and is supposed to look a but like the effect used in the film ‘300′. It doesn’t really, but is kinda atmospheric none the less.
I really will write a proper post again one day. In the mean time, expect more photos. I just took over 1000 during the dress rehearsal of the university Dance Show…
I like this picture a lot - and the tinting. Reminds me of that sienna, old-time stuff, which I assume is your point. Back when I used to make my own black and white prints in a darkroom and all, I experimented with the sienna tinting thing. Ended up being too much work for me, but I still like the look of it.
On a side note, that guy in the background looks exactly like… somebody. I don’t know who, and it’s driving me a little crazy. lol
Why is he wearing a dress shirt?
Sonja - Cheers. As for the guy in the back, I presume you mean someone famous but I’m afraid I can’t help. His name is Peter, if that’s any use. Which it isn’t.
Joe - Good question. I noticed that myself only when I was posting it. I think this was taken during the dress rehearsal, and this was the only white shirt he had to hand. I think he had a plain shirt for the run itself. I think.
