Meet Alan...

I have known Alan for a couple of years now; a plumber by trade, he is a partner in Kings Brother Building Contractor's, at least he was until recently. He is emmigrating with his wife to Australia in December to be with their daughter. What a life changing adventure! We had a great time taking this shot in the arches in Windsor early one October morning. The set up was my usual linear setup with Alan in the middle. The camera was set to manual , 1/200th and a stop or so below ambient. I triggered the flashes using the ebay CTR 301P triggers - they have not let me down yet!

My thanks to Martin for setting this shoot up - he did all the hard work of arranging and making sure that everyone was there. He also bought the coffee's! (but no bacon sandwiches...)

These shots were taken to celebrate Alan as part of King Brothers. So we took a few shots for posterity...

Good luck to you and your family in your new life Alan, but watch out for the spiders and kangaroos and snakes and sharks and the climate and ... did I mention spiders and sharks...?

See more of the shoot after the jump...

Who says contractors have to be serious all the time?

Good Luck Alan and all the best for the future!
