Gary and I have been friends for 17 years.  He is a good friend and assistant.  Often when I struggle to find a subject for a quick test he quickly volunteers.  This time our goal was to find a new lighting scheme for an assignment shooting 35 NFL rookies.
This shot was done in the studio using four Prophoto monolights.  We used a couple octabanks moving them around the subject to mold the light onto the subject while using a couple strip lights to create a higher contrast on the edges.  After adjusting the contrast the image was ran through the hi pass filter for the end result.  Our goal to create a high impact, eye catching image that could be used for a portrait or stock for our client was a success.
