Image of the Week Fine Art Print Offer
Each week, I post an image from my recent or historical work and talk a little
bit about it; the process, creative thought, and technical details that
contributed to its creation. During the week an image is featured, I offer it as
a Limited Edition Fine Art Print at a special price. Each image is printed
personally by me on the latest Epson printers using archival pigment inks on
acid-free archival paper. The prints are shipped matted and signed and can be
framed using a standard size, off-the-shelf frame from your local frame shop.

Image of the Week
This week's shot is of Alexandra Krieg, a cross-country runner at Middlebury
College.
I had been assigned to photograph Alexandra as part of a story profiling the
school's running program. The editors wanted an action shot (preferably with a
motion blur) featuring some beautiful Vermont outdoor scenery. I scouted a few
trail locations nearby and settled on a grassy meadow with a huge willow tree.
To get the deep blue sky I wanted, I underexposed the ambient light by about 1
stop and filled in the willow tree and Alexandra with two White Lightning
monolights powered by a portable battery pack off to camera right. The light on
the tree used only a 7 inch reflector while the light on Alexandra was fitted
with a 30° honeycomb grid to minimize any light spill on the ground. Both
strobes were gelled with full CTO (Color Temperature
Orange) filters to warm the strobe light to match the late afternoon
sunlight color. I used a fisheye lens from ground level to create a dramatic
perspective and open up the composition.
