Thanks guys. Action shots aren't a bad idea, though the lighting could be a challenge and don't want to trash his suit!
Gary, as for the why, not having earned more than about $12 from my photography, the purpose of these is the same as for any time I organise a shoot, to take an idea in my head and see if I can produce the image. If you like, this could be considered and exercise in off camera lighting, use of props and
model direction as these are all things I have done very little off and employed here. It as also a scouting trip as it was my first to this location and served as material for my assignment to do portraits for class.
As for the hair and the 70s reference, you are not the only one to say so and he took no offense when I passed it on
