Just finished editing my most recent assignment for True North magazine. I photographed Dylan at Gossamer Knitting for a featured article on boys and men who knit.
I'll be honest, my last shoot (which is on the current cover) was a little boring for my taste. For this shoot, I wanted to break out a little. I wanted to create images for my client and myself. So I took my time, I had fun, and I tried to create something cool. I thought about photographs that I love (like Platon's, for instance) when composing.
So far, I'm pleased with the results.
Gossamer has this great red wall and sofa. I put Dylan on the sofa and lit him with a Profoto head and 3x2 softbox (usually straight-on or pretty close). I hit the back wall with a 2nd Profoto head and grid spot. Most of the images that made my edit were shot witha 35mm/1.4 (although the one of the left was shot with a 85mm).
Edit: had to pull the image for now. Sorry. I'll post it again when the mag hits newsstands.
