Yeah these Profoto videos are really great. We get a bunch of them in our inbox from readers but I’m trying to space them out a bit. I can’t imagine having to plan all this while being on top of Rockafeller.

This was on strobist a few months back, I’m pretty sure. I know I saw it somewhere…

This was featured on another site a few months back, I’m pretty sure it was strobist, but I’m not sure.

Gregory spoke to my students last year at the Association of Texas Photography Instructors winter conference. We got to hear him explain this same pic live.

Was there no wind to be concerned about?!? I would be scared out of my mind…

I think the most interesting part is actually not the lighting, but that he used an 8×10 camera. Looking at the cover, it becomes obvious why: he tilted the focal plane to get both Giuliani and the Empire State Building in focus, and still have nice out-of-focus blur behind the Mayor. Excellent work.

He actually taught at Hallmark Institute of Photography this past year as the Artist-In-Residence. I was lucky enough to attend one of his classes while I went on a tour of the campus. Great teacher and photographer.
