LINKS Magazine - Keith Foster - Email Blasts Work!

While I will admit that the stars probably lined up for this to happen, but back in October, with the help of Agency Access,I was on my third series of email blasts since moving to DC and it just happened to land in the inbox of the Art Director of Links Magazine and it just so happens he was in need of a photographer in the DC area.  So upon receiving my email, he gave me a call and the rest is history.  We shot this back in October but the issue is out now.

Kieth Foster is a Golf Course designer half of the year and the other half he sells antiques in at his store the Outpost in Middleburg, VA.  I was given fairly loose instructions - Horizontals and Verticals of Mr. Foster in the store.  So I pretty much showed up and scoped the place and shot what I wanted.  This particular room was last and required pretty high ISO due to the black walls.  There is a small strip soft box camera right high in the corner aimed at the table in the background.  Its feathering the side of Keith's face and I'm filling with a ring flash.  Both with 1/4 CTOs.  What makes this setup significant is I tried it for the first time a few days earlier only to have a malfunction (Operator Error) with the ring flash so I was dying to give it a go.  Here are a couple of other outtakes from the shoot.
