A few months back I had the opportunity to photograph Steve Weatherford of the New York Giants in the studio. The lighting above is fairly simple with just a beauty dish off to the side.  The client later changed the background to blue for the cover.

This closeup of Steve with the helmet was taken using a ring flash to eliminate any shadows from the helmet and create a unique catch light in his eyes. A few effects were then added after the fact to create a retro look to the image.

Here are two more images taken during the same photo shoot. By planning out the lighting and backgrounds in advance, we were able to get quite a few variations despite only having a two hour window of time.

This is a montage from a day of location shooting at the Kellogg School of Science and Technology. Their campus is spread out between multiple buildings, so there was a lot of set up and tear down throughout the day.

I recently did a photo shoot with the goal to create the look of a young boy hitting a baseball through the window. This image was created using 3 different photographs. The first image of the boy was taken from a high angle and then I had him hold the ball attached to a metal stick for the second shot to make sure the lighting matched. The glass was then later photographed on a white sheet of paper and then blended into the background layer using an effect called “screen” in Photoshop.
