Dramatic Portraits

This may not look like a party to you, but if you listen real carefully, you can hear an americano / ’50s / blues band playing in the background. I was sorting through images from the ashley+alan bachelor party in Anacortes and found these.

As the night was waning, I was inspired by two sconce lights fixed to the wall (see last image). They reminded me of the vertical studio lights that illuminate the sides of faces really well. Unfortunately, they didn’t create any catchlights in the eyes.

The band was great that night – I wish I had remembered their name. You might be able to pick out a few faces here from Garage Voice.
