Theolonius Monk Jr. in Captial Records iconic round building in Los Angeles, CA. Lighted with a small strip soft box light about 10 x 30 inches. Since he and his father recorded on the Blue Note label, I added a blue gel to the background light in the office we used and then shot a white strobe up through a potted plant to make the blue mottled for some eye relief. copyright Los Angeles Times.
