M.E. LaZerte High School female wrestler Breanna Egloff, 17, poses for a photo outside her school in Edmonton on February 24, 2010.
I shot Breanna wrestling for a story by Chris O’Leary for the Journal.
After the match the sky was beautiful and I knew she was hot from the match so I asked her if she would pop outside for a quick portrait. I already had my lights set up and there was a nice flat football field just outside the gym.
I used my DIY Tilt-Shift lens which is fixed at f2.8 and shot with my Canon 5D at 1/50 sec, ISO200.
Since I was shooting wide open at f2.8 I had to set my flashes to minimum power at 1/128.
If I could have done this again I would have asked her to not smile so much and not look at the camera. With that being said though, her smile really showed her friendly character. I wish her well in her wrestling career.

I was assigned to get a picture of a hockey player who has had many injuries over the last year. Rather than just getting a picture of her on the ice (which doesn’t really illustrate injury very well) I asked her to sit in the bleachers and set her gear beside her.
I placed two flashes behind her at 1/32 power with tinfoil barn doors on them so I could direct the light better.
I find tinfoil gives a nice shiny “harsh look” for rim light. The fill light is just a flash at 1/8 power with a 1/2 CTO “orange” gel to warm up the light and a small softbox.
I shot it with a Canon 5D, 1/125sec, 50mm f1.4 lens at f6.3, ISO100.
