If you are the guy taking the photos, you don't look much like Freddie Mercury.  :D

I'm impressed with the work involved in this production.  I can't imagine myself doing that.

Nice little video Patrick. The only thing I'm surprised is you don't have photo of the guy painting it in your collection? no model release or are they yet to come?

I think the teen girl one is the most successful of the series.  The rest, I'm not seeing the point of someone in an obvious pose in a studio, pulling a suitcase or delivering packages or whatever.  What was the concept and plan behind the series?  Or was it just for fun?

The idea was to bring the street to the studio. I've had some assignments request in the past were they asked for urban style graffiti shoots. 
Graffiti is hard to find in the area i live in, so it involved traveling the a major city, scene spotting, asking permissions, setting up lights etc...the whole logistics involved.  I was thinking it could be easier if i owned a graffiti wall in my studio... so i hired Adam (graffiti painter) to create some work in my studio.  Clients were very pleased with the results.
However, having and owning a unique piece of urban art, it would be a waste just using it once so i did some stock concepts with that background too. I'm not saying they are a big success, but they are also a nice addition to my portfolio, diversity.

There are some with the guy online, just overlooked it when creating the lighbox.  The creation of the graffiti was mostly captured in a movie, not much images taken of Adam.
