My work with CGT capturing environmental portraits of our field personnel has come to an end, at least for the time being. I had set up for the last shoot in our control room area and before I took all of my gear back to the car I took about an hour or so in our server room to make this self portrait. I had wanted a good professional portrait for my on-line profile pictures so I took advantage of the opportunity of having all my lighting gear in the building.
This one uses pretty much the same lighting setup that I have used for the other shots with the exception of a bare SB-800 with a blue gel pointed at the rack on the left side of the image. The light was flagged off by a server cabinet so there was very little spill on me.
Making self portraits without assistance is pretty hard to do, at least is for me, but after taking several images from different angles I was reasonably happy with this one.
