Congratulations to GREG HAHNER, who takes the top prize in our third installment of the Perfect Portraits Photo Contest. In taking this self-portrait, Hahner accomplished two goals. The first was to try out his new lighting setup and the second was to create an image he could use for his music-related work. "I'd seen similar portraits done by other photographers and was inspired by the use of rim light to emphasize the silhouette of the subject," he explains. With a black collapsible backdrop behind him, his camera on a tripod in front and flash units all around, he fired away using a remote triggering system and a 10-second timer. Prizes include a $500 gift certificate to Bay Photo Lab, a Tamrac Evolution 9 Photo Backpack, a Gitzo Series 2 Systematic tripod with a GH2780QR Center Ball Head, a PNY 32 GB Pro-Elite Series SDHC Class 10 UHS-I Flash Memory Card, a Strobist Lighting Kit from LumiQuest and a 16x20 print of his photo from Duggal Visual Solutions. Canon EOS-1D Mark II N, two AlienBees B800 flash units, Canon Speedlite, 7-inch reflectors, CyberSync remote triggering system |
