Benjamin Put - Transcend Coffee

During the Prairie Regional Barista Competition (Canada) we hosted at our shop @ Fratello Coffee last week, I thought I would take the opportunity to grab a portrait from each of the competitors. It was a great event, steep competition and lots of fun. Each of these competitors were interesting characters, and gracious enough to let me take their photo.

 

Simple portrait taken in a loading dock at our warehouse, front lit natural light, I hit the backdrop with a large softbox about 2 stops over the front to ensure it was totally blown out. I was very surprised (and anoyed) that the sync speed for the Pentax 67 camera was 1/30th of a second (SLOW). Some of the images are not as sharp as I like because of that. All in all, I love how they turned out.
