Today’s shoot brought me to the Metropolitan Park West building for a quick session with big time radio personality Fitz of 100.7 The Wolf’s Fitz in the Morning show. I was working alone and we were on a relatively tight time frame, so we worked in one basic location that made itself evident during a quick preliminary scout of the location.

Fitz is a very easy going guy and has no problem engaging the camera. This shoot was pure natural light and the beauty of my Nikon D300 and a flawless Nikkor 105mm f/2.8.

Valentine’s Day is coming and Brenna and A.J.’s mommy wants to send out some photo cards of her beautiful daughters. Our shoot was piggybacked onto the headshot/portrait session with Jeff Anderson, so I was using my portable Botero background with one Alien Bees B800 through a 60″ Photek Softlighter II. The light was positioned straight-on for a simple butterfly look. The time between the first capture and the final frame was 118 seconds. This is what you call a quickie.

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.
