Beautiful and exciting!

Last night I went to Barnes and Noble to find that one of my client’s books is out and features one of my headshots on the inside dust jacket. It was a pretty exciting moment for me! I snapped a couple of pics with my phone before I purchased a copy.

Here’s the original headshot. He wanted something that was moody that would have a similar look to the photographs of the actresses he writes about. If I remember correctly, I used an Elinchrom 300RX with a small, silver umbrella.

Congrats to Stephen Michael Shearer on what looks like a wonderful book!

Spotlight on sound
Posted by Craig | Filed under lighting, photos

Sound designer, Mike Hallenbeck
For the first time ever, almost all the professional sound designers in Minneapolis gathered together in one placeāat my studio! I decided to spotlight them all, literally. You can view the full set on Minnesota Playlist.
Lighting info: The main light was an Elinchrom monolight with a 20-degree grid. The back light was a Canon 580EX II with a Honl 1/4″ grid, which I intentionally left visible in the background.
