Back and Jetlagged

So we got in last night at 2am after a 3 week adventure in Taiwan and Hong Kong, where I had the opportunity to go on an evening photo walk with a group of amazing street photographers. Unfortunately, after having seen some of the mind-blowing results they got from that evening, I'm now dreading seeing my film once I get it developed, cause I know they'll be complete shite in comparison.

Anyways, I bought a couple of portable LED lamps on the cheap from somewhere in Sham Sui Bo in Hong Kong, and wanted to test them out. I rarely do self portraits cause I hate how vain they make me feel. But Anita isn't a willing model at the best of times, and she's jet lagged like a mofo, so you get two shots of me instead.

Set up: overhead soft lamp, dimmed. LED with barn doors to camera left. Second LED behind subject, elevated and to camera right. Shot with a Nikon D300 and Voigtlander 58mm f/1.4 Nokton lens.
