Working on editing a quick sports porttrait portfolio for next week. These will be cut out and used to move images around to see what sequence work best. Looks pretty cool as is though. Might have to frame a few of these up.

After a 2 hour commute to DC to Shoot on set for RLTV show on Medicare, I’ve been presented with the challenge of shooting proper portraits (read headshots) of Deborah Norville (Inside Edition, CBS Evening News etc…) without lights… well, my own lights anyway. Luckily our main objective for the day was shooting on the RLTV set and there are hot lights and Kinos-a-plenty!
