here is what I saw:

I was able to see these guys performing on a series of free concerts on dundas square every Friday during the summer.

As I am a man of less words and more images I let the editors of  YDS do their “media thingy”;  the excerpt  comes from their media package

Bobby Dreadfull plays timeless funk with a dash of afrobeat and is reminiscent of performers such as James Brown and Prince with his high falsetto, unbridled energy and crazy dance moves! Bobby’s videos for singles ‘Get Down’ and ‘Za Za Ze’ were voted as videoFACTs favourite picks and are still in rotation on MuchMusic. The upcoming single ‘Oh No’ features Virgin Music recording artist Kardinal Offishall! Dreadfull has been ripping up spots at recent club shows and festivals. If you’ve been to a Bobby Dreadfull show and you didn’t sweat… you were  obviously still outside waiting to get in.

starting with summer nights…Sadly this first series were taken  on the same tragic night that Michael Jackson died… I’ll miss you Michael

enjoy the photos

For this test I have used a B1600 (from AlienBees)  and attached to it a 48″ brolly box plus a reliable portable power (Vagabond II), lights were fired using  the second generation of cybersync transmitter/receivers.

Overall , really impress how the D700 nails it and performs, we had fun doing this test shots and reviewing the details later in CS3, sharp, solid colors and easy to work.  I’m looking forward to the summer sessions for my ongoing photo project ( casting still open).

have fun end enjoy the pictures.

Gerardo.

So here are the versions and colors for you to help me choose, I have to decide by the 12th of June… so the poll will be open ’till then.

If you want to have a chance to win the headshot session, make sure you leave a comment including your email or contact number

cheers,

Gerardo
