Lawrence the ex teddyboy
I loved Friday night when I got into my teddy boy suit..my drape was grey with a velvet collar and half moon pockets...drainpipe bottoms.. a boot lace tie..the Tony Curtis haircut with the kiss curl...I also wore brothel creepers...five of us went around to all the hops..there was a place in Prudoe called the Bill Haley Club..all the lasses had their frocks on we used to rock around the clock...the music was Bill Haley and the Comets...I enjoyed my years as a teenager...I wasn't a bad boy but I did get into fights now and again...

Strobotolgical Info: A) Two 285HVs into draped black velvet in the background. They measured at the same exposure as the main light. B) Hair light from directly above and set to measure one stop less than the main light. C) One Calumet Travelite 750 for main light through umbrella and on camera left set to 1/125 @ f/11. I used a handheld light meter to measure lighting.
Sidenote: Check with your local fabric shop. I was a able to get this swath for $4 because it had been damaged. Makes for a great gray or black background.
