A few weeks back I had one of the funnest shoots to date. I was contacted by a good friend of mine, Brent, who owns Rescue 1 Studios a video production company in Logan. Brent was going to be making a new set of promotional and advertising material for the North Logan Fire Department and was looking to add some photography to their videos. So we spent the morning with North Logan FD running through some training drills and capture video and stills for their recruiting programs. The guys on their team are seriously top notch! I had a blast shooting with them and getting to know of few of the firemen and women.

A huge shout of thanks to the firemen of Logan and elsewhere for the hours of training and time they put into what they do. I know they love it, but we're grateful for you!

One of the biggest aspects of my job is commercial head shots and portraits. I have a client in my studio or on location every week looking for a clean, eye catching head shot. For me, headshots are all about the lighting. You need to light your subject in the most flattering way, to highlight their good features and minimize the bad. Below is a headshot I took today for a client and explanation of the lighting set up.

Here below is a basic diagram of the lighting set up used for this shot:

So here is the set up. I had one AB1600 on full power with a blue gel firing through a staircase creating the blue lined pattern on the wall in the background. I had my subject seated on a chair and a beauty dish directly over her head. The dish was mounted to a AB800 on 1/4th power and pulled in real close. For a light fill I added a 42in reflector sitting on her lap to open up the shadows on her neck and cheeks just a little bit. 

Post processing was done in Lightroom and Photoshop.
