Mark Schramm Portrait

Yesterday my assignment was to make a portrait of Mark Schramm. Mark is the Monroe County region swimmer of the year. Originally I was going in a completely different, more standard direction with this photo. However, when Mark was swimming back to the edge of the pool for another take, I noticed this option. I asked him to tread water for a moment while I moved my lights and took a quick meter reading.
I used one White Lightning strobe fired through a white umbrella above and to the right for a main light. A Canon SpeedLight low and to the left filled in the shadows.
