The Are You Local? show at First Avenue, featuring bands from around the Twin Cities that are headed down to SXSW in Austin Texas. It was a fun show and packed as usual.

An Architect and A Chef

EricGYPetersen — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:19:30 +0000

I recently had the pleasure of shooting an architect and his home as well as a former U.S. Presidential Chef and one of his signature dishes. For all the images I only used one flash, but different modifiers, to light my subjects. For the Bill Lyons shoot, I used a canon 550EX flash and a 50″ umbrella for his home interiors and the 550EX and a 24″ softbox for the portrait. With the David Macfarlane shoot I used the 550EX and the 28″ softbox for both the portrait as well as the Chicken Focaccia dish. All the shots were triggered with Pocket Wizard Plus II’s.

Gear used on these shoots:
Canon 40D
Canon 550EX Flash
Sigma 24-70MM F2.8 Lens
Sigma 16-35 F2.8-4.0 Lens
Pocket Wizard Plus II’s
28″ Wescott Apollo Soft Box
50″ Wescott Shoot-thru Umbrella
