 Ichi is the Japanese word for 'One'. Seemed rather fitting for this particular image. The non-basic-editing version of this turned out much better, alas we do what we have to to play by the rules. The editing is very simple. crop, desaturate, a crazy S-curve, colour balance, and a really light run through neat image.

Single softbox almost directly overhead. Wonderful model Robekkah who let me dress her up however I wanted :)

This was part of a rather chaotic shoot I set up with Shecoya and Librodo and a few non-DP fotogs while Manny was in town last week. 5 photographers, 13 models, a warehouse, numerous adult beverages and 7 hours later, and this is one of many we came up with. Boatloads of fun.

With the assistance of all involved, methinks Pedro has his mojo back :)

thanks fer lookin'

Having seen/been a part of the chaos all around this particular shoot.. I'd say creating this mood and capturing it so beautifully was nothing short of spectacular.

Agreed about you having mojo to spare... when the idea strikes its brilliant everytime. Nice work P!! Congrats on your top ten!!
