When a client says “Im hiring you for your vision” you have an extra sense of confidence.

When you have a client with a proven product, an inspiring journey and a vision for their story work comes easy.

He asked me if I knew anyone up for a challenge. I happened to know a guy. Snipe came thru The Dojo and made it through the 23 round challenge. I myself… I might have lasted 2 maybe 3 rounds and that would be with one of the Dojo Ultras and a 5 minute break.

With the Business Starter Package we were able to deliver some visual assets that would work in the training book, branding images for the product, video assets for web and social as well as some headshots. (because everyone needs new headshots). The goal was to have strong portraits telling the workout story with the Dr. Jump Rope split rope system. Below you will see some of the images we made to tell that story.

Check out the blog for more / the bts of the photo shoots.

These outside shots are with the Profoto B10xPlus and the OCF Beauty Dish / OCF Grid. My honest option, a hot take, maybe even debated by some. But if a someone doesn’t love Profoto they are lying to themselves. The versatility of a small 500 wt light that fits in a backpack with a camera and glass is something I didn't know I needed but is something I wouldn’t work without.

These inside shots…. You guessed it. Profoto B1oxPlus with the OCF Beauty Dish, OCF Magnum, and the Grids. So at this point the ease of carrying it around in a backpack is cool. But the modifiers too! In one backpack you have your Stand, 1 light, camera, glass, zoom modifier, grid, snoot, and a beauty dish. AND a OCF Magnum can. Come on. We used a number of different set ups shooting wide open and really exposing for window light, blowing out the background and getting something sharp on the subject.

It was awesome to go from one set where Snipe is back lit from the window and a pop of light from the beauty dish to set some fill and bring out highlights directly to setting up in the hard golden hour light peaking throughout the window and matching that light with the OCF Magnum Reflector was easy took less than 5 seconds and gave drastically different photos with minimal effort.

And this new Nikkor 50mm 1.2 Z glass from Nikon. The first thing I will say is having mirrorless glass on a mirrorless system is a game changer and don’t let anyone selling you an adapter tell you otherwise. This really is some incredible glass. It is fast, sharp, weighted well and just overall. It felt different than adapted glass felt on the Z7. Being able to shoot RELIABLY wide open at 1.2 on a moving subject and hitting focus every shot. Not something I can say I am use to. Defiantly something that I can get use to. I am looking forward to this Z9 showing up and getting the real experience.
