Joey


Joey has been a friend of mine for over 30 years. He was born with a relatively functional form of autism spectrum disorder, and he's a good guy to hang out with.

Joey and his dad stopped by yesterday, and Joey agreed to sit for a quick portrait.

Joey is lit with a close in, 30" x 60" horizontal soft box (see it in the catch lights in his eyes), camera right, and a 36" round white reflector, camera left. There is a Vivitar strobe, centered behind Joey about 36" above the floor, shooting up on the dark gray backdrop to provide some separation from the background.

Camera Data: Canon 5D Mark II, manual mode, ISO 100, 1/160 sec, f/5.6 at 105 mm lens focal length; auto focused on the camera left eye.

Post processing was done completely in the CS5 Camera Raw Converter 6.4.1, without opening the image in Photoshop.
