Ricci is an extremely smart, very nice and somewhat socially awkward guy. Is 
solution to being a bit socially awkward is to push it over the top into the 
most benignly socially awkward that he can, quite the amazing clown. 
Photographically, they aren’t as interesting, but I’m actually more proud of 
the other photos in the series where I got him to quit clowning for a moment 
and let me take some “straight” portraits of him.

One interesting aspect of it, was that it was just shot with a blue gel on the 
flash.  I now want to try doing some shots with the same lighting, but using a 
yellow filter over the lens to minimize the light of the skin. I suspect that I 
might get the same effect by dialing the blue channel all of the way down in 
lightroom, but can’t seem to figure out how.

Not the blue HSL slider, but the blue channel.
