Our first athlete is Dionne Marsh of the womens basketball team. One of my goals for this project is to create a portfolio of strong graphic portraits that are well lit and interesting to look at.
These portraits of Dionne Marsh was taken at the Rudy Davalos training center right next to the PIT. I've included a few shots of the lighting set up as well.




The whole shoot from arrival to when i left took about an hour. However, I only photographed Dionne for about 5-10 minutes. Preparation is key when it comes to working with subjects limited on time. So I arrived early with about 30 minutes to set up and test lighting, then plan for about 10 mintues to shoot and then time to pack up.
Having a location planned along with a few ideas and lighting planned out in your head before you arrive to shoot is key to doing this successfully.
