about on my mind
What do you think? You have thoughts and opinions that matter to you or your community
at large. It may be a large-scale political issue like the Iraq war or the environment. Or it
may be more personal, like getting your first job, or the birth of a new baby. This is a
weekly photo column that asks people in the Boston area what’s on their mind.

On my mind What’s on your mind ...
I love this image - as a tanguera and photographer, you did an excellent job of catching the intensity of the tango dancer. Quick question, did you set up an area at the milonga, or do you scout for people and shoot them at a studio. I'm not a studio shooter, so I am always amazed when photogs can set up shop in various locations and keep that consistency.

RE: Hi Tara, sorry for the delayed response. I'm currently traveling outside the country and haven't had a steady internet connection in a while. Thank you for your comments & to answer your question - I photographed them right on the spot. I always try to look for a white/neutral wall and also carry around a white sheet with me. The results can be a bit mixed...if you look at the collection, you'll notice the backgrounds can be varied, from a midtone to white, to being blown out. The only constant is that I'm using one light with an umbrella (I believe 60"). Thanks again for your interest!
