Tear Sheet People Magazine of Pilot/Actor John Travolta

John Travolta and Bombardier Aircraft (Lear Jet, Challenger & Global 5000 jets) introduce Bombardier’s newest planes at Hangar 25 at the Burbank Airport in Burbank, California. I knew Travolta was a pilot, but I didn't know he started taking flying lessons when he was just a teenager. photo: Mark Savage/INF

Two Recent Editorial Assignments- Portraits on Location

Here's a recent tear sheet from a couple assignments I had with the Press Telegram in Long Beach last week. I've been shooting more editorial lately. It's good to have a mix of clients- corporate and entertainment events, head shots, advertising, and editorial.

I knew the portraits were going to run side by side so it was important to me have consistent lighting for both. Shooting on location with a Nikon D3/28-300 lens, I used a single Dynalite head with Photoflex softbox powered by a Dynalite XP1100 generator. There was probably a 1 to a 1 1/2 stop difference between the subject and the ambient light.
