Skate or Die

-Or just look into his Dreamy eyes.... I really liked how we filled the frame with Miles and his board. The compression at 105mm works well to keep lines straight and image flat. Dimension relies solely on the light and shadows. There was something so intriguing to me about keying from beneath for some of these images and I think I'll be revisiting this setup soon. Lit with Large Octa on the floor and pointed up for main. I filled in shadows with a beauty dish from above. Two rim lights provided by stripboxes on either side. The board and shoulder, camera right, or catching a bit of the background light as well. www.naekan.com, www.nakeanworkshops.com/blog http://flic.kr/p/i5QqrW

Shing blues

Here's a photo of my best friend I've known since we were 6 and 7 years old! One might think I've taken a ton of photos of him but they would be completely wrong. Ultimately, taking photos of him when he wasn't cleaned up and ready to be photographed primed him to come back and show his more put together persona. There were a ton of images we both liked from this shoot. One of the images I posted recently was without the jacket and lit from the front by only two lights. In this image, however, There are 4 lights illuminating Corey from both sides, top, and bottom. All lights were gridded except for the bottom fill light allowing me to add color to the black paper in the background. http://flic.kr/p/hzo2GT
