Sean Vanhooser

 
 

I met Sean through a local coffee shop I had been working at. Right away the guy grabbed my attention with his crazy character and good looks.

I really wanted to show him like he hadn’t been before. Mostly when you saw him he was in athleisure wear because of his constant ability to work out. I really wanted him as dapper as they come, and he didn’t disappoint.

 

I used for the beginning shots, availible window light with a small octa box firing into a v-flat to bounce a very soft fill on to his face, with the fog filling the studio. This gave the look of all natural light but the surreal feel as well. Kind of seeing it but not how you think your eyes do.

The second Set up was a 30” Octobox and a 27” Beauty dish Clam shelled in front of a table he sat at. The light gave beautiful catch lights as well as enough fill for shadow detail and contrast.

All of this was shot to Captureone Pro using Alien Bee strobes.
