Today I shot in the Los Angeles CNN building!! They don't shoot any programs there, so it was not very exciting. I imagined touching Wolf Blitzer's beard. Is that strange? Anyway I had the pleasure of working with Mike. He is a criminal defense attorney. The moment we met, I could tell that Mike had his own style. He is a cross between Don Draper and Laurence Olivier. After shooting our "safe" headshots, we shot a few different looks in his office. Mike wanted a strong, serious look in addition to the softer headshots, so I used a speedlight in a medium softbox. To be specific, I used a Canon 580EX II inside of a Lastolite Ezybox Softbox. I exposed for the grey, raining Hollywood sky, and used the softbox to light Mike. Because the softbox was relatively small, I needed a second strobe to bring up the general exposure in the room. At camera-left there is a Paul C. Buff Einstein strobe with no diffusion, bouncing light into the wall and ceiling. It just fills in the shadows, and brings up the shadow on Mike's right cheek. After moving the lights a few times (in order to avoid reflections), we came away with this image. I tweaked it a bit in post, adding a retro, Polaroid look. Thanks for stopping by!!
