Joe looking cool when he was actually boiling hot :-) Yokohama, Japan

Joe and I were down at Osanbashi for a bit this afternoon, then headed off into Chinatown – which was mad with firecrackers and celebrations of the the 60th Anniversary. Great day out. He is such good company.

We shot a few posed portraits on the Osanbashi decking. It got a few local OL and assorted young ladies swooning

He was burning up in the sun, as was I. This was shot directly into the sun.

Thanks, Joe, for being patient…. and for being such a cool model.

Nikon D300
Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 @ f/11 and 16mm
Nikon SB800 fired off-camera with the SC-17 cord and through a Lumiquest III Softbox

Great portrait.

The best thing about this shot is that you managed to capture the strong sunlight with the model well-lit while no part of the photo is overexposed! Well done!
