This set of images is of Larry Dallas Poling, a street performer on Santa Monica pier. I photographed him at the end of the day, right before sunset. I really loved his sound and guitar work, but after a few minutes he told me to beat it…that I was hurting his tips.

In all three images I used a speedlight with ring flash and used some creative editing techniques to get the images where I wanted them…in the first and third images I used my fixed 85mm f/1.8 and the middle image was shot using my 16 – 35mm f/2.8.
