              The Brooklyn Drawing Board Project By Zach Hetrick

              A few days ago I received an email from Zach stating that he had been following my work for some time and that he had attended Brooks institute of Photography in Ventura CA with my brother quite some time ago. He had this really cool idea for a photography project with visitors that came through his apartment. Those visitors included friends, family, random roommates friends. Literally anyone that came through his apartment he got to sit down and get a shot of them in front of a giant chalk board. It was a great idea and executed very well.

              Here is part of the email he had sent me:
              “Wanted to introduce myself and pitch a video. I’m Zach Hetrick, formally from Bloomington Indiana but now I reside in Brooklyn NY. I briefly went to Brooks with your brother Josh, but I think that craziness was short lived by us both. Usually I shoot Athlete “Sportraits” and higher education portraits, but since my move I had to adapt to the models I had at my disposal in my personal work, so I turned my lens on all the visitors to my apartment.”

                I love quirky personal projects like this.

                these are good, i like the background choice and the lightning setup.  not a strobist, so never had heard of using the black on the sides for -light, interesting! i need to figure out a cheap “do i like studio lighting photography” setup, lol!
