One for Print, A Video for the Website

These days I'm spending more and more time attempting to shoot video and stills at the same time. It is definitely a mind trip.

A few outtakes from the Virginia High School Association Rodeo I shot last weekend.

Twelve Tennis Balls, Two Subjects and One Light

I made this picture earlier this week. My assignment was to photograph a brother and sister duo who are the number one seeds of the Freedom High School tennis team. In the past, I have always had trouble with making creative group portraits. It can be hard to get away from the formulaic people stand side by side approach.

For this picture, I brought my step stool with me. The scene was being lit by the setting sun, which was pouring in light from the right side of the frame. I used a off camera speedlight shot through a umbrella to try in filling the shadows on their faces.

I enjoy these types of assignments because they push me to interact more with my subjects, which helps me become more comfortable directing people in my photographs.
