Marissa and Tina

Kevin and Tina graciously allowed me to invade their home on Super Bowl Sunday and destroy their basement in order to create a makeshift studio (and then watch the best Super Bowl in memory). We lit everyone up with umbrellas, softboxes and reflectors and used a couple different background.

Despite some difficulties with one my Cactus remotes (the Poverty Wizards), I think the shoot went well. Tried a couple different lighting schemes (blowing out the background and some clamshell beauty lighting on Marissa). Overall, was quite happy with how everything turned out.

Here’s a slideshow of the best shots of the day. Definitely best viewed full-screen – there is a button in the bottom right-hand side of the slideshow window.

It is still cold; thankfully we can stay inside and make some pictures. I cleared out our dining room and created a temporary studio with a long piece of white felt and 3 strobes, an umbrella and a reflector. Was pretty happy w/ how everything turned out and in the process, learned a couple things. This was a trial run for some family portraits we did the next day.

Here’s a slideshow of a few of the portraits.
