I've been sort of taking a break from Pulp. Really I have been trying to take a break from studio lighting all together. After shooting with strobes for 10 years in Philadelphia I just don't get the enjoyment I used to out of shooting them. I'm drawn to natural light, or ambient light. It changes the way problem solving works in photography. Instead of where do I put the light it is where do I put the subject.
The more I shoot with what I have available the more I seem to enjoy the final results. I still love what I did for Pulp, Temperance, Journey to the End of the Night, but I'm much more enjoying the drama I can get by manipulating what is available. It feels more story telling than portraiture, or maybe just a different kind of portraiture.
