this month's cover

This is Mr. Mogi, CEO of Kikkoman which is known worldwide for their soy sauce. I think I only had about 3 minutes to shoot this picture, but I think it came out well.

Sometimes you're asked to do a cover on the spot, or have the original shooting plans changed at the very last minute which can be really chaotic. Yesterday I experienced a last minute location change at a prominent japanese corporation when the president came in and decided he wanted to be shot on a different floor. But thanks to digital, I can handle the situation much better than I used to when I had been using polaroids and film.
