PAC-10 Basketball Portraits

Submitted by Dustin on Sunday, 30 December 20078 Comments

One room, one chair (which I stole from the lobby..err asked politely for), and like 30 people with an average of 1-5 min each. Here are some of my favorites.Remember to click on the photos for larger sizes.Bryce Taylor, OregonTaj Gibson, USCO.J. Mayo, USCKevin Love, UCLADustin Snipes, AwesomevilleThe set up, it was different depending on the person but this is the room i was in. The white background over on the wall was used for headshots. The table had a white table cloth on it and we used it as a reflector. The shot with the dark background was done with a black table cloth held up by my assistant Ric.Thanks for looking!

    Hey Dustin,

    I love the first two. Until I saw the setup shot I thought they were all with a ring flash. Great lighting and compositions — what an awesome chair!
