Shooting an Editorial Assignment
... can sometimes be a study in focus (no pun intended). This gentleman is the headmaster of Brophy Prep Academy in Phoenix. I had a very short window to get the shots needed. He was bing interviewed at the same time as I was grabbing images. 20 minutes in and out. Great guy, he showed off the new buildings and development at the school with great pride.
I love the spontaneous rush of shooting editorial. Not a lot to pre-plan, no time to over-prepare, just get in and get it done. I wish more of my business was like editorial shooting. Focus on solving the challenges with what we have, take a risk, get the shot... throw the rest of the crap out. Did I mention that I had forgotten my bag in my wifes car (she traded with me before I awoke) and had only my camera, 50mm lens and a small reflector? Hey, turns out that is just what I needed. Ya know.
