Jacob Edgar of CUMBANCHA RECORDS asked me to shoot the band during a recent performance here and he also then arranged for a studio session while the band was enroute from Montreal to Boston.  This is one of my favorite images that I took that day and it is of Safa Shokrai the standup bass player for the band. 

If you ever get a chance to catch Rupa and her Fishes you will not be disappointed.  In June Rupa and her band will be touring thru Europe but back in the States and Canada in June.  You can catch them in the likes of NYC in Central Park in late June and on July 5th during the Montreal Jazz fest and then they back touring on the west coast in the end of July.  You'll think you stepped into a scene in some crazy movie with a bunch of gypsies!!!  Really folks, Rupa is a can't miss act.  Plus, she's a doctor of internal medicine too which is really cool!!!

The background was a simple "fashion gray" seamless Savage paper backdrop. Lighting was provided by a single Dynalite 4040 head mounted in a medium soft box to my left.

Exposure was at 1/125th of a second at F16 at 100 ISO (focal length 105mm)
