Shooting for publications: Be more negative!

























A slightly misleading heading i know, but when shooting for a publication it's always a good idea to have some negative space where text can be placed, preferably on a fairly plain background to make the text readable.
In the image above i purposely left some negative space for that reason.

The subject above is the great Alexander McKay, a fantastic musician who i have photographed a couple of times and helped film at www.charboroughmedia.com.
Technical info: one flash through a white umbrella, camera right.
Location: a small booth at the Troubadour Club on the Old Brompton Road, London straight after a gig.
