Headshots for Crunch

I started work recently for a company called Crunch Accounting, based in Hove. It's a funky little company and I'm finally back into Java programming again after a 10 month break (not self-imposed, may I add).

Anyway, they caught wind of the fact that I'm a photographer and they want me to do some headshots of the three main honchos. It'll be for their website. I've also gotta shoot the outside of one of their buildings in Brighton, as well a small pic of the highly reflective, mirror-like name plaque outside their Hove office (in a rather nice old Dubarry Perfumery building). Err...that's gonna be interesting as I'll need to have it reflect something other than the rather unsightly railings! I'm thinking of holding up a white sheet or card, and bouncing a gelled flash at it. Remember, always light something that the reflective surface will reflect.

The headshot shoot is tomorrow, Friday and guess what? It's an 8am start!! Which means I have to get there for 7.30 to setup. It'll be a simple affair: two Speedlites aimed at a white wall to blow it out, and third Speedlite in a shoot-thru brolly up high and to the side to act as key. Bish bosh off we go.

I'll post the results.

Ta ta.
