Local entrepreneur Jeff Anderson of Issaquah Trophy and Award, Trophies2Go.com, PokerTrophies.com and found in the blogosphere as the Awards Guru needed some head shots and knew exactly who to call. The gig was for one casual look, one formal set-up and then another of my choice.

The casual look. I wanted a mixed light look, so I did not gel my strobe to match the tungsten light in the background. This is one Alien Bees B800 through a 60″ Photek Softlighter II.

The formal look. An Alien Bees B800 through a 60″ Photek Softlighter II against my portable Botero background.

Loosely inspired by the look of Platon that dons so many magazine covers these days, I conceived this next look as if it were for the cover of a magazine. Same basic set-up as the previous image, but with the light in more of a butterfly position.

And with a few clicks using the magazine cover creator at Big Huge Labs and a bit of Photoshop, this is what you get for a laugh.
