The Pageant

Sent out on assignment to take some snaps of a rehearsal of a gay and transgender beauty pageant in Garden Grove. A bit far and a bit too dark to ride so I took the bus. Carpooled on the way back.


The light was a challenge most of the night. Going from the flat flourescent lighting of a conference room to a completely dark parking lot. I had to improvise with the parking lot. I set up two Nikon strobes on opposite sides of the practice stage and cross-lit it.
