I Had a Shotgun Held Up to My Face | David Bianchi

From a life of luxury to a living out of a car, David Bianchi lived on both sides of the fence; experiencing maids that took care of all the house chores and having a DEA agent point a shotgun at his face. But one thing that always stuck clear to Bianchi's mind, was his love for acting.

Cafe Portraits

These portraits was an outdoor shot. Using 100% natural light. Now the feel was a little bit on the warmer tone because when we filmed this there was a few brush fires around the area.


outdoor Portraits

We saw this bush wall of bush and shot the portrait with a AD300 Pro. I had it mounted on a light stand and asked Alfonso to hold it facing down towards Hayley’s head. Gave her a nice dramatic effect with a nice glow.


1st Studio Portraits

This shot was a 1 light set up. We used the AD600 Pro with the GODOX P120L octabox.


2nd studio portraits

This was a similar set up from the 1st Studio Portraits but the light was slightly higher and pointed down. Which gave her more shadow on the face and a dramatic look.


3rd Studio Portrait

We aimed to do more a NOIR feel and had the light right above her head pointing down towards the camera. This light gave her a mysterious look and the turtle neck sweater gave her that complete NOIR vibe.
