Taken on the stairwell outside our flat, the model is my flatmate who is a trumpet player. Lighting isn't brilliant as the lights are fixed on the wall pretty firmly :P.
This is my first attempt with a model and I'm not fully happy with it, especially the lighting on the face, but i need to start submitting to this more and working with my camera if i want to improve. Also first use of my sigma lens, so there is promise for it.
Over Christmas got a book of a collection of images of jazz artists so thats what inspired me to go for this kind of shot for music rather than a set up shot of an instrument against some music.

Love the moody lighting. I like that you've taken the chance with the unusal composition with him facing out of the frame and through the railing. The risks paid off in my opinion, good work.
