Flash­ing in a Pool Hall

Trop­i­cal Storm Debby is get­ting closer to Florida and the rain yes­ter­day was just an all-​day soaker. What bet­ter time to com­man­deer a pool hall and shoot some por­traits? The prob­lem with pool halls these days is that they don’t seem to have a lot of char­ac­ter. The back­ground isn’t very attrac­tive, so I ended up going to some dra­matic light­ing to let the back­ground fall into dark­ness. Brit­tany has the per­fect face for this kind of retro theme and she was a lot of fun dur­ing the shoot.
