Christopher Halloran Photography

A Photographer in Phoenix

Film Noir

Posted by Chris H. on February 24, 2010

I spent a long day in the studio yesterday doing some stock and portrait work and ended the day by having some fun with my friend Kalynne and a new acquaintance, Toby.  I have a lot of editing yet to do on the hundreds of images we made, but here is a quick look at one.  Toby has a gun in his hand (don’t worry – it was a mock Beretta) and many of the images have the gun in frame, which obviously gives the photograph a much more ominous feel.  And this one, with the sharp contrast between the light and dark sections of the image, could be seen the same way.  But to me, it also has a sense of longing or even heartbreak.  I’m not sure, though.  What do you think?
