My photography project this afternoon is to recreate a photograph. I may use it for an advertisement for my record store. You can see the photograph here..... Snap Galleries : Keith Morris: Nick Drake, running man, London 1969 . It's an iconic photograph and should be fairly simple to get it right since we can practice over and over again (compared to the original which was captured instantly like a real street phootgrapher would), but I'd like to cut down on how often I have to set-up the shot, so I'd like to get most of parameters right before I trip the shutter.
My employee Terry, will be playing the role of Nick Drake standing against the wall. I will be playing the role of a paunchier "running man". My question to you all is what do you think the original photographer's EXIF looked like. We have a sunny day here, though I may prefer a wall that is in the the shade for more even light. Focal length, aperture, shutter speed? I'll likely cheat and shoot Terry first and then have him just actuate the shutter as I take several attempts to get the right amount of blur and be placed properly in the frame and then combine them in post.
Any other suggestions for small details I may miss. No one will mistake it for the original since the individuals will look quite different, but we'll get the clothes close to right (without buying anything new). Suggestions from the peanut gallery? I'll share the results later if we get it done right.
ooooh, nice. I just found a video with the whole contact sheet from the original shoot. Enjoy the Nick Drake.....
