Buffalo Stake Presidency


Here's a photo I made of our stake presidency this weekend.

This was a quick, unplanned shoot for three very busy men. But I had all my photo gear set up, and grabbed them after they reorganized the Young Single Adult branch presidency on Sunday afternoon.

Here's where having a portable studio really makes sense. Setup was in the hallway outside the chapel, which was a little cramped, but it worked. I ran out to the car to get a black piece of fabric in my trunk at all times for serious portraits, which I threw over my backdrop frame. Lighting is from two flashes and an umbrella.

I laid a folded chair on the ground and teetered on it so I could be eye-to-eye with President Pace, he's 6' 7", which is an inch and a half above me.
