Sports Portrait

I have been in a assingment slump for a little while, howevere I think I nailed one this morning. I was given this assignment earlier this week to set-up and was pretty excited when I got it and I was not going to give it up. Osvaldo Jeanty is one of the best basketball players in Canada right now and one of the nicest people I have met. I shot him and his family over two days on my time off with no over-time and worked a 14 hour day in the process. That is how bad I wanted this job and it paid off. It just goes to show that even though you are doing well for yourself that sacrificing your own time to make the picture you want to make pays off. I borrowed a friends set of Alien Bees, they are amazing! One softbox upfront and two lights with beauty dishes wide to the side and behind. 200 ISO, 1/500th, f 8, 1/2 power.
