All-Area Wrestlers

So by no fault but my own I have been the go to shooter here for are all-area sport portraits. Here's the last one I did of the two MVP wrestlers. I knew I wanted to shoot looking up at the wrestlers in there starting position but had no idea about the lighting since I had never tried something like this before. I'm pretty happy with the final result, thinking back on it though I probably would have placed on more sb800 on the right for more fill besides the just the one, the rim lights are two alien bees 800w. Here's a link to the story.

All-Area Boys Basketball

Lately I have been working on trying to shoot better portraits in my daily photographic life. I feel like this is an area where I can always improve. So I took it upon myself to set-up a shoot of all the first team all-area boys basketball players for the Sports Department here at the Appeal-Democrat. So with the help of Nathan Weyland who assisted me and after spending 5 hours in the Yuba City High School locker room I came away with a couple of shots that I kinda really like. That's Nathan trying to kill some boredom between shoots and the lighting set up of 4 lights.One main in umbrella softbox, two rim lights and one background light. The final images is how it ran in the paper.
