Guys, new to this board but an absolute fan of Captain Robau and Faran Tahir. I'm a photographer as well and have been peeved that Paramount did those cool low-key headshots of Kirk/Spock for the Star Trek posters but not one of Robau. So when I met Faran Tahir recently for an event in Virginia I _had_ to shoot one of him in character. He is an absolutely cool guy and was a total sport.

Let me know what you guys think.

Here's the link to the gallery of the event

You've got some good pics in that collection. For the poster shot, it seems a bit darker than the official ones to me; perhaps something in between the two versions you have of that picture, with the right side of his face (left side of image) not completely in shadow?

Did you tell him about this thread? I always wondered if he knows about it.

He knew at the L.A. premiere in April:

That's a nice pic!Thanks! And how very kind of Faran to allow that. It's great, to have that sort of positive feedback, and appreciation from a Trek personality. Hi, Faran, in case you're looking!

In that interview he said there was always ways of brining characters back, like holograms. If the Federation had an army of holographic Robau's even 1/10th as badass as Captain Robau, no one would dare to mess with them. It would bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "peace through superior firepower" because Robau is the ultimate form of firepower.
