TASCO RidgelineX "Back in Black"

We just went live with TASCO’s new “Back in Black” RidgelineX gloves. The photo goal was to go gritty, moody, and fast. The challenge: shooting motion in "the dark". I used all the straps, selfie sticks, small rig clamps, LED lights, and gaffer tape I had to keep this thing stable as I rolled down a gravel path. To keep it from collapsing from the weight of the camera, I used my little Sony ZV-1. There was also a 3rd light that was hand-held and had my remote trigger taped to it so I could get the shot and add more light.

I'm always happy to see a concept come to life across ads, email, and homepage, especially when it starts as an idea in my head.

Projects like this are a reminder that you don’t need a big crew or studio setup to create images for your brand, just solid planning, a good eye for the story, and a bunch of tape.

Self photos are a thing with a lot of my clients - it keeps costs down and I can be as flexible as the project needs to be. Here's a few shots for Orange County Mountain Bike Association. And yes, that's one of my camera's dangling from a tree...
