Gymnastics Portrait Night

MV Gymnastics had me back out for the 4th time to do the annual gymnastics team portraits for the team.  We started out with the team portraits and moved into single gymnast portraits and after that, the girls lined up again for more pictures but this time they got to do some fun poses with friends.  With new leotard colors, I grabbed some different colored gels to light up the backdrop with.  The girls seemed to love the look of the fog spray from last year, so I brought that back again but tried to smooth things out a bit to give a bit softer look to go with the new leotards.  Lighting was a pair of Godox AD 200Pro II’s on lightstands illuminating shoot-through umbrellas.  I wanted just a bit of light spill to illuminate the background of the gym a bit to add some depth.  I had a pair of Godox V1’s with grids on them as hair lights on either side out of frame.  It was a few hours of craziness but it was all fun as well.
