Comedian Portrait

[DanOstergren25]

"For just pennies a day, you can sponsor a sad, giant, hairy, gay cyborg comedian named Kyle Shire."

Kyle is the first person I've photographed since moving to Hollywood CA. I've been following him on various social media platforms for a couple years, and when I knew I was finally going to move to Hollywood I reached out to him to see about a collaboration.

Shot in natural (window) light with a large white reflector for fill. Canon 5D classic with a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens attached set to f/3.5, 1/200th sec, ISO 800.

He's pretty funny, from what I see in the above YouTube clip!

Yeah, even in person he's hilarious. Had me cracking up the entire shoot, and even if I meet him out somewhere for a drink it's hard not to constantly have a big grin on my face because half the things he says are just ridiculous (in a good way).

He also came up with the "for just pennies a day" caption I used for this photo. Close second was "Serving 'All My Corn Crops Died In The Ice Storm' realness".
