This is a great capture of Mr. Williams with the Lensbaby, Craig. You’ve really mastered the split focus technique.
I love the entire image and I especially love all the colors you’ve chosen to include — the colors of the city at night!!!!
I love the inclusion of the music. That brings it to life. Can you say a bit more about the split focus technique? For a performance, it seems like you’d have to pop off a couple shots pretty fast. Are you rocking the focus manually from the focus ring?
WOW Craig… This is one rockin image! It’s got everything, fabulous color, dynamic image design with diagonals, mood that oozes from the screen and great gesture. You even threw in a split focus technique just for fun… the subtle greens and blues in the background really take it to another level.
Love this, The image comes alive when you play him singing. Its beautiful how you’ve handled the transition from green to blue to red.
You’re developing such a wonderful and unique “signature style” with these Lensbaby portraits! The recent three images are so full of life, light and energy…I’m in awe. And I love the glorious color.
