Contrasting Portraits

Recently I was assigned a shoot for a local Restaurant here in Richmond Hill.  The Restaurant just happens to be my absolute favorite restaurant in RH, maybe even in the Southeast, Marker 107.  It is a hike down 144 in RH, 21 miles to be exact.  It is nestled in Kilkenny Marina.  Awesome food, cold beer, and a great view.  Marker is owned by two families and the Mom’s run the restaurant (pictured above).  Dana Lewis and Catherine Bowen.  They are very different people and I needed to capture that when I photographed them.  I could spell it out for you, but I won’t insult your intelligence.  Let’s see if I did my job…  Photographically they are different as well.  Mostly in the lighting setups.  Catherine, shot 1, was shot with 3 lights, and Dana, shot 2, was shot with 1.  Both were shot with the 50 1.4 on the D700.  Along with these shots I also had to shoot some food.  I want to elaborate on that a little more at a later time, because I have some more food shots coming out soon.
