I just found a Finnish article using a photo I shot of figure Skater Johnny Weir. The shoot with Weir in 2009 was interesting to say the least thanks to his unexpected props!
For this shoot I tried something new. I decided to use one of my two new twin 1200-watt HMI movie lights as my main light and then I used two two-foot Kino Flo lights to strip either side of the subjects face. By using continuous lighting I was able to see the light in real time which was so much more fun than shooting with electronic flash and imagining what the light would look like when the strobes fired.
A group of friends recently hired me to do three group shots in studio and on location. Everyone was cool not to fight for the spotlight and all of the compositions came together without a lot of fuss.. although I did hear the word “bitch” a hundred times before noon.
