The Shepherd Express, Milwaukee’s alternative weekly newspaper, hired me to photograph Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm a couple of weeks ago for its cover. The photo ran in this week’s issue.
Knowing that he would be pressed for time and that the shoot would be at the newspaper’s offices after his interview, we used two quick setups: 1. A black seamless paper background in a hallway, lighting him with one strobe. 2. Natural light in the building’s entryway, a few feet from the pouring rain. (The same rain that ruined our plans for a walkabout photo session).
The more traditional shot ran on the cover, and the “studio” shot ran as the inside lead for the story.
