Rosco Spectrum: When he’s not busy as guitarist and singer for Boston’s modern-metal band “Unearth,” Ken Susi is an active photographer. He recently visited Rick Friedman’s photography studio in Boston to learn a few of his techniques. Acting as both student and model, Ken took part in a shoot that resulted in several photos of the rock star bathed in moody, evocative color – thanks to the gels that came out of Rick’s Rosco Location Lighting Filter Kit.

The lighting and gel colors chosen by the artist truly created a unique composition that blended the Medium Straw, CalColor 30 Cyan, and Rosco #24 Scarlet while pulling out varied emotional responses from the viewer. Because they are not natural appearing colors in life, and they so harshly light different portions of the subject, the emotions that are pulled out of seeing it are similarly vivd and harsh. The subject does not just look like a normal man in a normal situation, but rather a man with a story that is illuminated by the unnatural, highly saturated colors bleeding across his face. In the photography seen, the subject evokes one emotion with his stature and look. The yellow shaded across his face evokes another emotion individually, and same goes for the blue and red hues. But when blended they create a whole other composition that requires the audience to feel something in a completely different way.
