Masahiro Morimoto Iron chef cooks some comfort food at Canvas

Two lights here, one off to the right and behind him Gobo'd for the rim lighting and separation, another off to the left and in front with a diffusion filter for main light and fill.  The background was the restaurant's signature wallpaper which was a tiny strip of wall covering but just enough to fill the frame. Very happy with the way this turned out. Shot for the Pulse Section of The New York Post on August 22nd. It made the inside cover of the section when it ran.

The Fisher King - Pulse Story for The New York Post

Christopher Toole is teaching kids and their parents to be vertically integrated farmers. Raising plants and Tilapia fish in 50 gallon tanks in a circular eco-system in which the fish waste feeds the plants and the plants feed the fish. Very interesting dude on a serious mission.
