 Joe Pannella, Director of Photography ( or as the title suggests, the English equivelent) of "Pepper Dennis", a 21st/FOX show (flop).

Joe let me light this during lunch, and was gracious enough to sit for me.

The bg camera is a Panavision 35mm workhorse (dinosaur) of the industry. The camera on the dolly is the newest Panavision HD for our show.

RAW= Curves

PS= Levels, mask model, erase model layer,reduce, sharpen model only keeping other elements soft, reversed usm to bring out shadows, cloned two distracting pixels, dodged eyes a bit.

Strong finish, AH! I like everything about this except the crop or frame is a bit tight. Lighting is great. :)
