Out-take from the Metropolis magazine cover shoot: Omori, Tokyo
This was one of the shots I took for the Metropolis magazine cover, but that which didn’t get used in the end. It’s my favourite though, as it gives over a lot of the guy’s character.
Nikon D300
85mm f/1.4 AF D
f/1.6
1/80 sec
500 ISO

You're right to like it, Alfie - what a great smile. Plus I love the flock wallpaper in his cab and those lights in the background (fast becoming your trademark) just set it all off beautifully.

hi did u use tripod on this? it rocks
Yeah, I can see why they went with a different shot for the cover, but I think this is a winner. Picked up a copy of the mag on Friday and it looked great. Fingers crossed that they throw some more work your way in the future.
