Mother #$&%’in Black Ops!<\/p>\n

You guys have no idea how excited I am to share this shoot with you all! About two months ago I got a phone call from Beau Peregino – he’s been on the east coast doing various acting work\/etc (seriously, google him for the controversy about the political ads he was in, haha!).
\nAnyway, Beau sent me a photo of some Special Forces military gear he was given to use by a close friend of his (who is in the Special Forces). Beau said “next chance I have to get you to this coast, we have to do a shoot in this gear.”<\/p>\n

Well, shortly after that conversation Activision released their press photos for Call of Duty: Black Ops. I immediately loved the imagery and knew that I would have to emulate the game cover with Beau and the gear that he had.
\nTwo weeks ago I was traveling around Florida for work. So it wasn’t hard to make a few detours after my trip before returning to California.<\/p>\n

I traveled up to Maryland to shoot with Beau. I was also able to see a few friends on my extended trip – which included continuing on to Boston.<\/p>\n

Here’s a wide version, which I also like.<\/p>\n

This crop isn’t as tight as the previous one, but still works and also allows some flexibility if I want to use this shot for other things.<\/p>\n

This shoot was surprisingly simple. It was a two light setup – specifically a two speedlight<\/em> setup, pretty sweet, huh? I worked with two versions of shots of Beau, and composited about 15 total layers for the image when it was complete. Most were smoke and masking layers. There is a lot more to this image that is masked out that I have to work with in case I need it.<\/p>\n

Beau and I goofing off when we were starting. Our friend Hillary came to hang out during the shoot and watch, and she snapped the only behind the scenes shot of the night.<\/p>\n

I’m currently back in California and catching up on work and edits. I also just ordered some new lighting gear and hopefully will be experimenting with that soon, too! Kassandra (you’ll remember her from the calendar I shot) has\u00a0tentatively\u00a0volunteered to test with me for fun once my new setup arrives. So hopefully I can line up her and another model or two for new images soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
