flashlight
This kid invented a tri-colored flashlight for use by pilots, with each color having a specific use. Instead of the usual "guy holding an object" photo I decided to add a bit of motion by having him do circles with the flashlight while switching between the colors (red, green, white). This was a simple two light setup, with the main light being shot through a small snoot to light only his upper torso, and a rim light with a blue gel to prevent his head from disappearing into the black background. I think the exposure was about 20-seconds with the flash popped manually about a third of the way into the exposure. That delay allowed me to get a more natural look to his hand it made it's way across his body.
