Ari Loeb’s self-portrait. How was this photo made?

 Photographer Ari Loeb took a self-portrait, while waiting for his model to arrive in stage B. Coming in a few minutes early, and he was able to play with the setup, as well as film a last-minute self-tape audition! And he booked the job!

How did he make this photo?

 

If you look at the catch light in Ari’s light, there is a round light source hitting the model from above, camera’s right. Shadows on Ari’s face are well defined, hard, which hints us that the modifier most likely was a beauty dish, possibly without diffuser. This portrait resembles Rembrandt style portrait, where the model’s face will have a  triangular shaped shadow under one of his eyes.

Here are some of our favorite picks from artist’s Insta feed:

 

Few words about Ari and his  experience in stage B:

 
“I am a full-time stunt performer in film and television, and part-time photographer. I am a dancer and choreographer, formerly Cirque du Soleil, Spider-Man on Broadway, and Pilobolus Dance Theater. I have choreographed for television in 8 countries, and worked in 350 cities worldwide. Now I am back and forth between Los Angeles and Atlanta, photographing whenever I can, mostly dancers and acrobats. My love for grace and the human form will never die. Thank you FD Photo Studio for a great session. Can’t wait to come back!”
