Jeff Curtes

This is the first of a series of portraits I shot in Santa Fe last week. I went to spend a week getting my brain shaken by legendary portrait photographer and friend Frank W. Ockenfels III at the equally legendary Santa Fe Photographic Workshops. Jeff was one of the photographers in our class. He is a world renowned snowboard photographer that travels around the globe as Burton’s main shooter.

camera/lens: Canon 5D, 70-200L IS @ 200mm
lighting: One hand held fluorescent mechanics light from Home Depot above forehead and a silver card below to give a little catch light in the eyes. The camera was set to 400 iso and tungsten color balance. There was very little post other than a slight levels adjustment.
