YCN / Freddie Mercury

First photo shoot, Freddie Mercury look-a-like waiting for a bus.

Problems we encountered:

. Model didn't show, found new one!
. Trousers, firstly the colour of them, we had large white ones and skinny bleached jeans, neither were fully right for the job.
. Trousers again, problems with sizes, needed to be tighter!
. How to make the moustache, face paint, hair!?
. Traffic, we accidently chose to shoot at rush hour, oops. Was hard to get a good shot across the road with cars driving and stopping in our shot. 

Nevertheless we got some photos done! 






A small sample of them, but the main angles / compositions we were looking at having.
I think the photos are funny, however, it isnt obvious enough that its suppose to be a Freddie Mercury look-a-like, just chillin. Instead it looks like a press ad for a new gay chat call line. The problem with it is that there isnt enough iconic imagery on the model, Yellow leather jacket, Whiter jeans, normal trainers, red stripe trousers! We did our best without spending any money, money that i dont have anyway!
Not exactly what we want, nonetheless we have something to work and try to move forward with!
