old friend/favorite weekly rag the honolulu weekly hired me to shoot a quick series of portraits for their entrepreneur issue.  i got to snap a few photos of brandon reid, owner of the manifest in chinatown.

the concept was fairly simple, the image was to portray young professionals on the move.  the weekly pretty much had its game plan so all i needed to do was show up, snap a few action shots of brandon cruising hotel st. on a bike, while wearing a suit.  while on location i also blasted a few strobist portraitures, using an umbrella and a fill strobe to blow out the background and fill out the shot.  the weekly didn’t run with any of the portraits i shot but i always like to provide clients with options.  i liked the results.

quick, easy, and to the point.  what’s not to like?  congratulations to brandon and the weekly for a killer article.
