On Assignment: Marsha Mcknight

Talk about a serious case of back log man.. anyway here goes. The subject was Marsha Mcknight the L’Oreal brand executive at Pioneer Manufacturing Distribution Company Who is a really busy Woman from the looks of things. We nailed the shoot time everybody was on time and everything. The location was Devon House however the second I dropped the lightstand I was attacked by the flash light police saying we need to speak with front desk at the admin office for the details on photographing (which was pay of course) Luckily there was this awesome wine bar called bin 26 Who allowed us to do the interview and photoshoot in the winebar which was rly upscale n fancy and IT HAD AIR CONDITIONING!!!! God it was hot!!!. after that all was well.

At the point in time of this photoshoot I had not figured out the whole Auto ISO thing on the D2H so the camera was bouncing around the iso levels giving me unwanted noise in some of the images :( but at least its sorted now (present day). For this I used a one light setup as the second poverty wizard I had on me started flacking out on me. it was my pretty standard on location one light setup about 45 degree angle for the light get the composition right nail the aperature and the shutterspeed for the exposure (the iso sadly was out of my hands so it was like iso roulette). and here is the end result. For the image I put up the speedlight (sb28 was camera right at about 1/4 power) and about 4 feet away. You can see the noise issue in the dark areas I was talking about due to the high Iso values. Marsha Was awesome to work with, easy to work with which always makes me happy as it makes me able to focus on making my photos look right.
