If you are an MTSU student you will probably see this photo printed on a banner somewhere around campus. Toks is running for freshman senate, and wanted to "replicate" a photo he saw of Lebron James, except this time he wanted to throw powder in the air, which is a habit of Lebron James'.

The photo was lit with two SB900 flashes, coming from a 45 degree angle, above Toks. Since I didn't want to get baby powder all over our studio, we decided to do it at my house, under the carport. What you see is pretty much the original photo, with bits and pieces added from extra shots we took. Post-processing was straight forward too - B&W conversion, one curve for contrast, and unsharp mask to bring out detail in the powder cloud.

Speaking of studio, by tomorrow the construction at our studio will be officially over. By the end of the week we should order prints, books, and advertising material, and if all goes well, by the middle of October we will have a fancy opening night. So, if you are in the Murfreesboro area, look out for Made in Murfreesboro Photography on Main Street ;).

As always, thank you for stopping by, even if photos are very scarce lately. In two weeks I should be back to a much more photography=oriented normal.
