Zach, cover photo shoot - a photo on Flickriver

            Cover photo shoot for Xavier Nation magazine. 2 Westcott FJ400, 1 with grid spot/barn doors to backlight from mid court. 1 main with large EZYBOX, bare with grid camera right. 10 Nikon flashes (2 SB800, 2 SB900, 4 SB910, 2 SB700) set to su mode. 1 shot was all we needed. And all I got where the flashes mostly fired. The only photoshop done was reducing visibility on the light stands and darkening the floor a bit. We had a few SD8 & 9 battery packs as well.

Shooting with the 85 and being left-eyed I couldn’t really see him coming. Had to guess. Ears help. Listen for the quiet as he takes to the air. 

Due to covid there was just one other person on set. Glenn & I set up all the lights then he left to go shoot something else. 

Thanks to the 2 friends that lent their flashes to this shoot.
