The end of 2008 proved to be the busiest time of the year at Sierra Studio. We were booked solid from mid-October all the way through Christmas and the first week and a half of 09. We shot a big project for CVS/Caremark, Jewels By Parklane and a whole bunch of food shoots. Despite the busy schedule, I had the privilege to do some shots for Steve Layne. Dr. Steven L. Layne serves as full time Associate Professor of Education and Literature at Judson College in Elgin, IL. Steve is a wonderful author, speaker, educator and expert in reading education. Steve has been a friend for at least 20 years. We shot alot of other shots before we got to this. This was done in a hallway leading to his office. There were small halogen spotlights hanging from the ceiling that we used as kicker lights. The fill light came from above camera and came through a large Photoflex softbox. Steve's publicist wanted him to be a little more serious for these shots, so we only shot a handful with smiles. Overall the shoot went smoothly and look forward to work with Steve again.
