On Thursday I had the opportunity to photograph a portrait of Cheyenne native Lloyd Garcia, who recently won a handball national title in a 50-55 age group at the 61st annual U.S. Handball Association’s Four-Wall Championships in Fridley, Minn. The title was the one thing missing from Garcia’s trophy case that is filled with accolades from a career spanning more than 30 years. I decided to shoot the portrait on the roof at our downtown Cheyenne office. I was tempted to shoot in the studio, but I liked the cloud formations from an incoming storm. The lighting was extremely simple: one Canon 550EX shot through an orange gel and an umbrella at full power. I asked Garcia to get into his windup as though he were serving into the camera lens.
