Pump it
This shoot was a lot of fun, though the timing was pretty tight. We got to kick everyone out of the gym, but it was only for about an hour and we did seven shots in that space of time. It would have been fun to try a few different lighting setups on this shot alone, maybe with some bare strobes, but playing it safe doesn’t seem to have worked too badly.
This was shot with two umbrellad flashes, either side of the subject. And while I don’t want you to look too hard for touch up errors, the wall behind the subject was actually one big mirror, which meant that me, my lighting and the entire gym, including onlookers (talent from the other shots), were reflected in the shot. So the floor, blue skirting, ceiling, equipment and subject remain, the rest had to be replaced and the new wall blended in to match the lighting and shadows in the rest of the shot.
