Shot this at the OneLight Workshop tonight. Or should I say, yesterday, since it is 3:37am and I’m just getting home from the workshop.
I always love it when someone at a workshop asks something along the lines of “How do you do such and such type of shot?” My answer is always… “Well, let’s figure it out!”
How it was shot :: Nikon SB-80dx at 1/4 power. Straight flash (no modifiers) pointing at cyc wall. Annie, one of our models today, was a bit nervous about this shot. She didn’t think she could jump in the way I was asking but she said she would try. She pulled it off on the first frame.
I love jump shots. I do. I don’t care how cliché they get I still love them. They are always a crowd pleaser because photography grabs that one motion that we can never really see in action.
Cheers,
Zack

Next on my to-do list! Fantastic shooting like always!
Some of my favorite work by Avedon is his jump shots.
It only looks clichcé if it sucks, which this doesn’t.
Nice work z.
Hi Zack! I’m a recent fan of your work, I haven’t saved up for your DVD YET but I’ve been keeping up with your blog and your 365 for a while. I was just always afraid of saying anything without having something productive to add but I love the image and the last bit about the cliché. At this point with my work I’m starting to think that attempting something original is already so unoriginal.
Awesome capture Zack!
Where was the light in relation to the model again please?
Nice composition on this one :). I´m amazed of how you can pull a 365 a schedule as tight as yours, truly an example for the rest of us.
Nice! I practiced a bunch of jump shots after your workshop with my kids. They were thrilled to be able to jump on the bed. We got some great action shots.
Any hints on keeping the image sharp? With a max sync speed 1/250 can get some blur when my subject really gets moving. Thanks for the daily inspiration.
My Ninja’s are humbled…
Nice. I like the motion shots too.
love the blue stockings
