I worked with Mike H. (MM# 1436925) to create some Sportrait (Sports Portrait) shots.  The weather didn’t allow for outside shooting so we did a simple back drop and created some hard edge light shots using strip boxes with grids and a large umbrella fill.  We used a fold out black backdrop and exploited the grids on the strip boxes to keep it black and avoid fall off.

I did a little bit of the “Gritty Look“  on one of the images and it’s one of my favorites.
