Keanu as Neo

This image is not like any other in my APUG gallery. It was from my first big shooting gig. This job was truly a stroke of luck and helped set my path in photography. The Image is of Keanu Reeves on set for the shooting of the third matrix. This was my best and most favorite job ever. Im sure all the photographers involved in this remember it as a WOW factor experience. i was 18 at the time. I should stress that the lighting was not set up by me! I shot this on EPP and sadly the colour didnt come out like I had hoped. Certainly not how the scene was graded in the movie. It was very neutral in my rendition, and Keanus ears were back lit and looked odd so this image worked best when duplicated and copied into black and white. Well anyhow this is one image of what resulted from my experience on the set of Matrix.

Very nice, very Matrix indeed! All right, how did you get a job like that, at 18 nonetheless. Spill it out! Not that many have a chance with a high profile celebrity and a popular movie.

Well, that is a bit of an understatement, it is not like any in all the APUG galleries ;-) ... in the sense that we do not see that many celebrities appearing here... nice for a change.

Funny how the water splashes of his head and coat.
 
Crap movie, great shot.
