When I was approached for the shoot regarding a client who wanted a photo for Med School applications, it was a hot summer week. Yuchen needed something to put in online applications that requested a photo. My idea was a minimalist shoot with a Canon Speedlite 580exII to the side and reflector at the bottom as fill, the sun was strong at 7:30pm but made a great rim light, giving my client a warm caring look, his smile came about from jokes from my assistant and model Annie who managed to make him laugh. A warm smile appeared as he came down from his laughter. The fill and light fall off from his left side gave the brief and brilliant look of a photo that proper for representation with minimalist portrait look, great to get noticed and best for showing off his personality. I used a canon 5Dmark III with a 70-200mm canon 2.8 USM 2 telephoto lens for shallow depth of field and amazing bokeh.
