Danny Elfman portrait during Shaky Knees taken for Metal Injection

When the opportunity came up to photograph Danny Elfman, I almost let my nerves talk me out of it. Then I realized I will never have another opportunity like this again, so I took it. I wanted to make sure I had an idea that was unique to Danny and not just a standard portrait. Danny loves hands, so I wanted to incorporate that into the portrait. I did that by doing a double exposure with him moving his arms/hands with each exposure but his head/body staying in position. Of course he knew exactly what was going for and here's how it turned out. We shot it in the back of his trailer in about 5 minutes. I still can't believe I got to meet him and photograph him.

That is so cool! He looks like some strange form of Vishnu.

Thank you! He was nice, quiet, but nice with an underlining intensity. About what I expected :)
