Photographs of Photographers




UGA Graduate Margaret Strickland on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 in Athens, GA. Strickland sold four photographs to the Smithsonian Institute's American Art Museum and should be displayed in an exhibit in 2011.

I always worry about photographing other photographers because I know how i want to look and i know worry about other people trying to capture me in a flattering way. My biggest concern was trying to find a decent background thanks to all the construction on that side of campus as well as the 330PM shoot.

So i took my best page from Joe McNally, tossed up one speedlight with a CTO Gel, 1/2 power, 250th f/13. Good light, framed by the wilting cone flowers. 5 minute portrait. And it works.
