Studio Portrait Photography: Matt Albiniak and Sierra Bravo
Hi Gang,
A shift back to studio work this week and next. Over the past month I shot two studio projects, the first of Matt Albiniak for his web brand identity which he wanted to link to his employer, Sierra Bravo. The key word to capture was “nerdtastic.” I had a definite look and feel in mind for the shoot, asked Matt to bring some props and he did the rest. I hope you enjoy these!

I totally love these images AJ. Love the red background, props and of course your amazing subject. The glasses make me go cross eyed though.
These are great Alec. I like the way the red background makes him pop. I hope he didn't really crush that red bull on his head
Nice job!
Hi KG,
Thanks for the kind words. Matt was amazing and those glasses rock. They're company issue at Sierra Bravo.
Cheers,

Hey Megan,
Thanks for being here. Yes, I was pleased with the background color and using hints of other colors (blue) to work with it. Yet, its amazing how well the red shirt works with the red background.
No, he didn't crush it on his head, but I bet he could.
Cheers,

two quick observations.
1. how is that guy single?
2. looking at the related posts, he's in good company: val carpender, heidi klum, and hilary duff.
oh, and this is literally the ONLY time i've had fun having my picture taken. alec brings the top shelf game with serious credibility.
The up-close shot truly defines “nerdtastic.” The rim lighting and the simple-but-effective props really sell these images for me. Nice! Also, thanks for the setup info.
(And thanks for checking out my blog!)
Hi Jamie, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the kind words. I recently began including lighting diagrams, feel free to go back a few posts to see more of them.
