As is going to be a common theme with these photoshoots, time was of the essence due to the heavy workload from other classes and many of my afterschool responsibilities.
After a 2 weeks of planning with my good old friends Alejandro and Ruben, we had finally lined up our schedules. I shot the photoshoot at the Checker's 5 minutes away from the school. While we were enjoying our pizza before the shoot, I was examining what sort of compositions I can pull off with such limited scenery.
This Checker's is very retro and picturesque. It's built to only be a drive-thru with no actual restaurant qualities besides the very limited and unclean seating. Then, there are other factors beyond our set, was the boring street-view backdrop we had at all angles and the limited supplies I had to make this sufficient photoshoot. I had only brought a camera and a couple white papers to scatter the natural light, nothing to clean the seats or make a dent in the harsh shadows I was getting.
The following series of pictures are all the ones I took for the duo shot, as you can see I was trying out different angles and waiting for the wind to pass

at a bit of a Deutsch angle but with relatively good lighting.
the boys weren't ready for the shot |
 |
| Still at an angle, very nice lighting, Ruben and Alejandro's anxious phone position mess up the shot though. |
 |
| No angle, backed up 3 steps, bad lighting on Ruben, who's also not smiling. |
 |
| Better lighting, frame slightly uncentered, Ruben still has too much of a stern expression, Alejandro blinked. |
 |
| Ruben is still holding a strange expression. |
 |
| Not great lighting or centering but otherwise everything else is fine |
