Hockey in the studio
March 13th, 2012Last thursday i shot new images for the hockey team Timrå IK. It’s for the last fight in the series. A lot of sweat and serious eyes 🙂
The images are being used in ads and posters during the last games in the series, the theme of the campaign is “it’s time to fight back!”, so there where some really determined players i shot.
As i had limited time and the art director in the studio, we used Phase One’s Capture Pilot, sending every exposure to his iPad. That way he could make his selection “on the fly”!
The lighting setup was two Profoto Magnum reflectors with grids 45 degrees from the back, one normal reflector with grid giving some light från above from the back, a softlight reflector with grid straight from the camera and a softbox behind me just helping with the harsh shadows in the face …
Thank you for this. In the final shot, did you remove the reflections from your lights in post-production?
Yes! I had two reflections in the plastic in front of their face that had to be removed. I tried to place the reflections so it would be less hard to remove them later …
