any photographers here have any insight on how stressful it had to have been to set up camera equipment for this? flashes?
I can’t stop looking at this fucking photo. Unreal.
I think he could be shooting with 3 flashes. One from the left, one from the right and one on camera perhaps. There seem to be light spilling on both side above the platform area. I think Atiba should have had all the light on just Tyshawn and kept the rest sort of dark. My opinion anyways.
Definitely no on camera flash.
Looks like flashes to the right of camera, up high. You can see the board shadow on the left platform. It’s a double shadow, so probably 2 flashes on that stand aimed a little different.
And one flash to the left of camera, right on the edge of the platform aimed down the center. You can see the shadow on the platform overhang and on the track and ties in the lower part of the frame.
So flashes were all safe.
That leaves Atiba with a camera, probably on a tripod in the tracks. Definitely stressful still.
I like it all bright. It’s different than how Allen Ying shot that ollie photo. This one pops better to my eye.
