Back Up Plan B: Shoot Your Instuctors


When all else fails (and you've already shot your buddy), shoot Vincent Versace. Vinny is available (since it's raining, after all), and doesn't mind posing at a moment's notice. He's also kind to animals and small children, and as long as you don't make any sudden moves, he's really quite docile. The shot was taken in color and converted to B&W in Photoshop (click on the photo for a larger version).

Normally I would avoid the WWI infantryman look but it seems to work for Vinny. Another nice shot! I'm digging the B&W portraits. It really focuses on the person without the distractions of color (spoken like a true color blind individual).

Is he single/available?
Absolutely an awesome shot.

Hi Anonymous:
Sorry--Vinny is just now celebrating his 1st year of marriage to a woman who I can only imagine is a Saint. ;-)

Hi Jeff:
Two things:

(1) That was shot with the Nikon 200mm f/2 lens, which gives you an amazingly shallow depth of field, and makes it great for portraits.

(2) Vinny's hat is an authentic Italian army cap, and was given to him as a gift by an attendee to a previous workshop, and he's pretty attached to it. :)
