Box Five Photography is pleased to announce a new venture with Herff Jones here in Colorado Springs, offering the Seniors a Traditional Cap and Gown portrait to commemorate their achievements. We were at Doherty High School today, and took a couple portraits for them. Here is what we’re offering…
Look for us in your (or your kids) school in the future! We’d also like to thank Brent and Wayne Patterson at Herff Jones (www.yourgrad.com) for this amazing opportunity! Look to Herff Jones for your all of your Seniors needs, including Class Rings, Caps and Gowns, and some other amazing products to make your Seniors year the most memorable it can be!
For those of you who have been following our progress, you all know that I love to give some information regarding the photography part of this operation. Here is what our setup looks like to achieve the above results.
There are actually three strobes in this shot, although you can only see two of them. The other is tucked behind the right side of the backdrop, lighting the lower corner. Key light is a Canon 580EXII through a Wescott 43” shoot-through brolly. Set to 1/16th @ 35mm. The light on the left is a Canon 430EXII, set to 1/16th at 24mm. I flagged the left side of the flash to keep the spill off the subject. This is also what gives the nice “wrap” on the subjects faces. Behind the backdrop is a Nikon SB-28, set to 1/8th @ 24mm, sitting on the floor pointed up, just to light the lower right corner of the backdrop. Camera is a Canon 5D Mark II, with a 50mm f/1.4 lens. Exposure was 1/60th @ f/5.0. Flashes were tripped with Twin Link radio triggers.
Stay tuned for more updates soon! Thanks again to everyone who has been with us on this journey!
