This is my nephew, Tony. He was born with Down's Syndrome and a leaky heart. At five months old, he underwent open heart surgery. At the age of two, he was diagnosed with leukemia. But he is a tough cookie and he has beaten the odds. He just graduated from high school and wanted something special for his senior pictures. Through all of his struggles, his biggest love is music. His whole life, his one dream, has been to be a "rock star". So, with some planning, some "roadies", the help of a community park (and stage), some screaming girls, four flashes, a fog machine, some gels, a microphone and a cd player with speakers, I set out to make that happen for him for this morning. We had a pretty small budget, but we made him very, very happy. Rock on, Tony Scott!
And because some of you might be curious, THIS is the behind the scenes shot. Yep! These were shot at nine am. They have very little photoshop. The "night look" was achieved in camera and with four little speed lights. :)
These were a blast and I hope Tony remembers this day happily for a long time. He's getting a ginormous poster for his wall from one of these. Any thoughts on which one it should be?
Smiles,
Angelina
