Egan And Ivana

Egan and Ivana among my favorite people on the planet. Ironically, I’ve known Ivana for far longer than I’ve known Egan. And she was an active co-conspirator, every time I’ve used Egan as my guinea pig for lighting experiments, but this is the first time I’ve ever gotten her in front of the camera.

They came out to NJ to visit me, so I took them out to some of my favorite places to shoot along the Boardwalk and Pier in Ocean Grove. We started shooting right at Golden Hour and into the tail end of sunset. The first half of the shoot was done completely in Natural Light and then transitioned to Flash with a MagGrid to limit the spill of and create a more dramatic look.

It was fun to get out there and shoot people pictures again. I haven’t done it nearly as much since the pandemic started. I’ve mainly set about shooting landscapes along the beaches and boardwalks but this was a great way to get the juices flowing.

P.S. Today happens to be Egan’s birthday, so if you see him around the interwebs or in real life, be sure to send him some love.
