Inspired By Chase Jarvis

One of my favourite photographers is a man named Chase Jarvis. He is extremely talented, and so creative. He has been using his blog, videos, tweets, meetups, etc. to help grow and unify the photography and creative community. Recently, I tried to recreate one of his pictures. A picture he took for Reebok, a basketball ad. Instead of doing basketball, I chose to shoot hockey. I grew up Canada, so hockey has pretty much always been a part of my life. I played it for a long time and have been shooting it a lot as well. I haven't tried any sort of set up/editorial/commercial type photos for hockey, so this was a first. I brought out a couple of my friends, two are in the shot, one is holding a flashstand with a Canon 430ex, and umbrella, above the two players, and another friend is there for support ;)

Here is the photo that Mr. Jarvis took, that I based mine off of.

And here is my photo:

As you can see, my lighting isn't exactly that same, but still I thought I did a pretty good job.

Thanks for checking it out!
