i am currently doing a series of photos about the athletes from my local university. I started with the sprinter, who, big bonus was a reasonably attractive fellow (Like Jane Bown's Editor said to her, "make sure its a good looking turnip"). The lighting for it was quick and easy to do. I used two 500W strobes placed about 1.5 meter from him on either side. the Strobes were on backlight stands to bring the lights down low so that i could get the light in under him when he is in the Ready position. I also used a reflector to try and get a little bit of light into his face so thåt the shadow that appeared on his face became slightly lighter. I used 1/200th and an Fstop of F22 to compensate for the light and make sure the darkground will be dark as this was shot in broad daylight.
In post production I to take some random guys that was standing in the background out. There was also a big lighting pole that showed up that I also had to remove. Final Result... not too shitty.
