This one time I photographed a Boy Band

Not making that up. This is Zero Gravity, based in LA. They're very talented and very sweet.

These are dynamite. Lighting is beautiful.

You should be able to just PS the car out. Doesn't look too bad.

Thanks! I tried a few times and it looked like rubbish but I'm super picky. I'll probably give it another go.

Ha! As good a photos of a boy band as I've seen. Nice work.

And as mentioned, cloning out that car shouldn't be too tricky.

The hard light sculpts out their features. Great work.

That lighting is ridiculously good in my opinion. Mind sharing the setup(s) you used?

Thank you! The portraits were done with a 22 inch beauty dish with grid just to the right of me as I was shooting and about a foot above their heads (they are radically different heights); the indoor group shot was done with the same beauty dish without the grid... I think. Although it may have been a 48-inch octo but I'm pretty sure it was the BD. I used a bare strobe (no reflector) as fill for the outdoor shots.

You did an AMAZING job!!! Thanks for sharing

Careful. These are the kind of shots that can get you pigeon-holed as THE boy band photographer. . Good job.
