Preview: Perfect Light, Perfect Portrait

January 18, 2017

I had a blast working with these talented actors and actresses -- there was great energy and excitement as we crafted the "look" that they wanted to represent them.  The request behind this photoshoot of 27 teens was for natural light with a neutral, informal backdrop.  Bitter cold temperatures and peak mid-day sunlight kept us working inside.  Without my typical backdrops and favorite Profoto B2 lighting system, I needed to be creative with angles, location and setting. Check out the results below, as well as interesting pullback snapshots of the setting.

Canon 1DXmarkii, Canon 135/f2.0L shot at f/2.0, Gitzo series 3 Systemic tripod, RRS B-55 ballhead, Profoto 47" diffuser, Profoto 47" silver/white reflector, Tether Tools Case Air Wireless, iPad Pro.
