Athlete Portrait: Dramatic Headshot

Brazoswood High School Portrait taken at Hopper Field in Freeport, Tx.

Today, I re-watched a recorded video of Peter Hurley giving a presentation at the google + conference.  He makes some excellent points that all photographers think about.  He's also an entertaining speaker.

You can watch the video here on youtube.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-NKdOMtldM

One of his focal points is the importance of getting emotion out of your subjects. 

The above head shot was taken under the bleachers at Hopper Field in Freeport, Tx.  We used a D300s with 1 - SB-900 in a softbox.  All the post processing was done in Lightroom 4... no Photoshop on this shot.
