Magnus and I worked together before on a pretty fun shoot at my studio back in the fall and we had so much fun that we were both eager to plan another creative shoot. I had a fairly clear vision on this one from the start; I knew I wanted to shoot in black and white mode on my camera, I knew I wanted harsh, high noon light and I wanted to concentrate on shadows, lines and composition.
This is the second time I've intentionally done a shoot in black and white mode. The colour information is still recorded but the LCD on the back of the camera only shows the monochrome. Shooting this way is an excellent exercise in composition and light and dark and it made me want to shoot that way more!
