Last week, I was lucky enough to do another photoshoot for Santa Cruz Magazine. This one was for their Fascinating People issue. The editor selected 7 or 8 people and paired them all up with a different photographer. Originally, I was supposed to shoot a teen opera singer, which we had decided to put in a fancy gown and photograph in the redwoods. The only problem ... she was in New York. So instead, I got to shoot professional big-wave surfer Peter Mel, which I think was better.
I shot 3 different lighting setups for a total of 81 frames and it was the first time during a shoot that I completely trusted my hand-held light meter instead of the LCD screen on my camera. The results are fantastic. One shot may even be the cover, though I'm competing with a professional fashion photographer so I'm not holding my breath.
I'll post some of the photos either after they are published in November or after I get permission to do so.
