A green mohawk and pinball photoshoot
Portraiture
It all began with a text from Antz ...
"A person from the Pinball collecting community is visiting Zanzabar tomorrow. She reached out to me and asked if I knew any photographers who might be interested in doing a shoot around my pinball machine collection. Any interest?"
Antz also attached a photo from her Instagram account, which helped sealed the deal. Her bio said:

Friday rolls around, and I get to thinking … This is in a bar on a Friday evening about dinner time and Mary Jean has planned on cooking dinner tonight. So I resolved to make it a quickie!
But after carrying in all my gear on a rainy night, I set up and we started shooting. She was an experienced subject with big green hair and we had the perfect arcade with bright pinball machines, so we worked it.
An hour or so later, I realized it was no longer a quickie. We moved through another costume change and dinner started weighing heavy on my mind. We called it a night. I told her the photos would post soon, and to enjoy her Christmas present!
Antoinette posted an Instagram photo of me that Antz shot with her phone of me shooting the session:
