As we work on features about the coaches, of course we need some head shots to use throughout the year.
In trying to come up with a concept to take a decent shot of each coach, I thought about our 'Tiger Paw' flag that we fly at the Tribune on home-game Fridays.... instant backdrop.
The time for the first interview snuck up on me so I did not have everything ready to go when new offensive coordinator Henry Hill came in today, so I made the setup quick.
The flag went on the wall, lit in the center by one Elinchrom bxri500 monolight with a 10 degree grid to center the light on the paw print.
After that, it was just a matter of setting up a small softbox and reflector for the subjects about 10' in front of the flag. The 70-200mm lens did the trick to draw it all together.
Unfortunately, the tiger paw really doesn't work as a tight head shot... it just sort of grows out of his head.
WIth more background included, it is a little better.
I will try some adjustments to the setup and share those later this week.
