When?

Where?
- CBD? As per notes below, would be around the Quay
- Pyrmont Street tech building possibly
Ideas
Feel
- Look for glass and steel, go for a future-y look with clean lines
- Go for heavy shadows/light and let the helmet do the talking (might need some care to correctly capture the internal lights if they're present)
- Don't worry too much about the setting, get in close with a wide lens and pull some wacky poses, having lots of depth to get some perspective distortion (mostly with arms and head, get some dance moves going)
- Go hard on the flashes and gels
Shots
- The newspaper shot, as seen at the top of this page
- Drinking coffee, we'd need to sit at a cafe somewhere, maybe up near the Quay would be nice. Find one that's got ourdoor tables, get a clear background without too many people, go long, he's got one leg resting on the other knee, sipping coffee like it's nothing
- Abstract/artsy shot of him standing on the Opera House stairs, will need to run and gun this one
