Cigar Factory of New Orleans

Did another quick trip to New Orleans to get a few shots of this place and a few cigars.

This is a seriously good set AT. The attention to the details including hands etc and some wonderful environmental portraits really tell a story. Processing also works well. Some of your best work IMHO. Congratulations

Thanks Run!!! It was a great shoot, they came out 1000x better than I thought they would because of the tight quarters. As you can see in the first image of the 2nd set, they were just sitting behind a counter (and kind of under it) with a wall just behind them full of shelves with modern stuff (plastic bins etc) that didn't help the scene.

The whole time I was shooting, I already had the idea of doing the B&W with the brownish tint (leathery color).

Of all the images above, this is probably my favorite because of the light coming in from the opposite direction, and just the feel of the image

I agree entirely. A real fine set, AT. Cigar 2 from the first post sent me to your flicker site where I enjoyed the rest there viewed on black. If you fancy yourself the writer, I'd suggest an ePublication of some sort.

Love the toning on these images!

Great set...suites the BW well.
