First Lady

Andrew  Maccoll

First Lady

UK Born Jan Johnston also known as “The First Lady Of Trance” one of the most recognizable voices in dance music today. She’s worked with artists such as BT, Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, and the list goes on. This shoot was done on request as I’ve always absolutely loved her music and really wanted to shoot a portrait of her. Shot on location in Melbourne it was a heavily windy day as you can see by her hair. I put a heavy focus on getting the angles exactly right… maybe even too much as I only had this one frame out of about 100. I was extremely grateful to get this image though…

    What an amazing image. How did you make it so that her face isnt blown out?

    she was actually about 2 stops under to begin with due to the available light. So the final result was that combined with the exposure and a simple background selection in photoshop… she also has a white sheet around her!

    Mesmerizing, the leading lines, the white, the smile.

    Great composition – certainly suits the trance genre very well. The metallic lines look similar to the laser light shows associated with trance
