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.

Photos from Susan Lucci's La Lucci Booksigning

I was at the Barnes & Noble at the Glendale Americana yesterday in Los Angeles to photograph the beautiful and glamorous "All My Children" star Susan Lucci as she signed copies of her book, La Lucci. Other celebrities photographed attending the event were cast members Walt Willey, Jill Larson, Christina Lind, and her husband, Helmut Huber.
