Digital Kitchen Photo Shoot

I was hired by Digital Kitchen to take photos of the whole staff in the Chicago, New York and Seattle offices. The fact that I am a current employee of DK probably helped the decision though. It was a great opportunity for me to take more portraits and experiment with different lighting techniques. I constructed a homemade ring-light and a cover for my soft-box that emulates a ring light.

Lighting Equipment

  • Alien Bees 800 Strobe
  • Large Soft-box
  • Tota Hot Light
  • LiteLink Triggers
  • Homemade Fluorescent Ring-light
  • It’s was nice to try out so many different ideas and shots without being stressed on time. These shots took place over several days and post processing took over a week. The shots are published in Digital Kitchen’s new Reel packaging and they are used extensively on the Digital Kitchen Website. Here is the whole set from all the offices.

      Nick,
      Love your portraits. One thing did kinda bug me. That ring light leaves a weird catchlight on your subject’s pupils. Sorta reminds me of a tapeworm. Something that could perhaps be addressed in post-processing. That is, if it bothers anyone besides me.
