Street photos 4/08/2011 | Knoxville, Tn

Went out on Friday with friend and fellow photographer Travis Green out and around Knoxville to just chat and grab some coffee. We decided to bring the cameras and just walk around looking for some inspiration and just snap a couple photos.

More photos after the jump....

Travis decided to with his new 300mm 2.8

Always some panhandler walking the streets of Knoxville

Maryville College Senior Eryk Watson

I've been wanting to work on some new portfolio work and wanting to go more in the direction of sports. I contacted Eryk Watson and asked if he'd be down for some photos and luckly for me he was more than willing to come. Thanks a ton Eryk and congrats on the  GSAC Player of the Year !

Behind the scenes photos after the jump.....

Here are a couple of photos by Travis Green showing the set up, how ya like that no look shoot. haha

2 x B800 for back light
1 x B800 boomed net to backboard with softvox
1 x B400 with beauty dish on ground pointing up for a little fill

Going into the shot I knew exactly what I was looking for with my portfolio image. I was wanting to get a prospective of the backboard when he as dunking. Once I got that shot I just snapped a few easy shots of Eryk standing in front of the goals.

These were shot with a simple set up
2 x B800 camera left and right behind subject
1 x B800 boomed overhead with beauty dish
