Mark in Seattle with Blackrapid
Andy and I went around with the guys from BlackRapid and MadPants Studios to shoot some video for Lightenupandshoot. We had run across this older dude named Mark several times on our trip in Seattle. We had discussed how cool it would be to take his photo and after talking to him for a bit, Mark was up for a shoot.
The light set up is extremely simple. We placed a 28" Apollo softbox directly above Mark and slightly feathered the box away from the wall. We wanted very little fall off on the wall so that Mark would really pop. Most people will have some hideous shadows under their eyes and nose, but for Mark this technique works perfect. You can see all the textures in his face.
Nikon speedlight triggered by Cyber Sync.
Fast shutter to kill all ambient
