I had a great opportunity to work with the best DJ in the world a while back. He goes by the name of DJ Qbert the performing name of Richard Quitevis, a Filipino-American DJ and composer.
His partner Ritche Desuasido co-founder of ThudRumble.com needed some new photos so we set up a shoot. It's such an honor to meet a legendary DJ who inspires all the lovers of turntablism and the culture of Hip Hop. The picture above DJ Qbert and Ritche aka Yogafrog was shot with a large umbrella camera right and two strobes firing in the back out of sight.The picture on the left of Qbert holding a turntable is called the QFO, a turntable with a built in mixer. 
The QFO is the first ever musical instrument made specifically for the skratch DJ! Plug in and play anywhere in the house or even outdoors, with the help of a battery pack. You can't really see it in the photo but it sports a special needle made for Qbert from Ortofon. The image was shot in the basement with ambient light behind Qbert and a work light from his garage right above him.
The last shot on the right was shot with a strobe camera right and reflector camera left. This is in Qbert's recording room as you can see all his vinyl records in the back.
