Ben Johnstone

Atlanta Photographer Matthew Lane-
This week, I shot Ben Johnstone. Ben is a private baseball coach for kids who wanted some better shots of himself for his website. His website is where parents can learn who he is, what his credentials are and contact him for booking info.

We decided to meet at a field during one of his sessions to get some actions shots followed by some more formal portraits. His client was quite gracious to allow us to shoot and have him and his child in some of the shots.

The light was so gorgeous this day that I decided to run with it and keep the strobes in the bag. The action shots were taken with the telephoto so I didn’t interfere with the learning. It also provides some nice separation from the background.



The portrait shooting was a bit more complicated. I was lucky to have two lovely assistants with me to manage the reflectors. For this shot, I placed Ben in the shade and then bounced some gold reflector for low fill.


These turned out really great and I can’t wait to see them on his website.
