Batman popped in to our club photo session for his yearbook portrait on a TF basis. I did think about using Peter Hurley's lighting style, but somehow this dude just didn't seem to fit. He wouldn't take direction well either - man how many times did I ask him to loosen up his jaw - he just didn't get it. There was definitely no Shebang! going on (later on there was Kerrangg!!, Kerpow!! and lots of Biff!! though). So, not your usual portrait lighting, but I went with a sort of Frank Doorhof, Ridley Scott mix in the end :P He claimed £5,000 in travel expenses (something about plutonium and the price of waste disposal these days?) but had no receipt. He tried hard but I don't think I'd shoot with him again - he's just too moody, and his warddrobe was limited. He did show up on time though, although the bill for the roof has wiped me out.

Batman is Adam John Ashman, who also crafted this amazing costume. He sweated it out for 20 minutes on a very hot day in Cheshire to get this shot.
