Athletes of the year. A couple portraits, in-studio. Happens every year. What to do?
Some newspapers do amazing things with these portraits. They set people on fire, throw them off buildings, amputate limbs … I exaggerate. We’re a smaller operation, so I have to work within our means.
My shift starts at 11. The assignment is at noon. Gotta think of an idea. What can I do with all these lights I have in our studio? I know — I’ll put them in the picture.
Here’s a setup shot:
And why should all the cool lighting be used only on my subjects?
Here’s a self-portrait:
