My good friend Rich Lashua just happens to be the drama teacher over there and he thought it would be a great idea to get the kids some head shots to post int he lobby before the show. What a great idea!
The setup is pretty simple. Two Nikon SB-600 speedlights blasting into a neutral grey background, blow out the background to white. The main light is a Nikon SB-900 Speedlight in a Westcott Apollo 50" softbox, camera right.
The lights were triggered with PocketWizard Flex TT5 and controlled with the awesome PocketWizard AC3 Zone controller. (For the record, I absolutely LOVE this thing!)
After that, it was just a matter of getting Jr. High School students to come out of their shell, in front of a middle-aged stranger pointing a massive camera lens in their face. Why would they ever feel self-conscious?. (That would be sarcasm)
Luckily Mr. Lashua was there to help, as he is a bit of a nut (Which is probably why we get along so well) together, we were able to get some great looks from the kids! Be sure to check out the show "Rules of Comedy" Friday and Saturday March 15-16 at the Marjorie Luke Theater at Santa Barbara Jr. High School.
It's going to be a great show!
