Pilot Portrait – Tammie
captured by D5, 14-24AFS, Profoto B1 w/Octa
Tammie’s second career is flying medivacs, something she does with great passion. It’s a thankless job often because her passenger is on the edge of death. It can be days of boredom waiting on call and then seconds of high tension action when the call puts the team in action. And she does it was that smile bringing reassurance and professionalism to her life saving job!
Pilot Portrait – Tammie

I got two more pilot portraits in this past week, both with the D5, the first I’ve done with it and the D5 and it was sweet! This one of Tammie was the “rush” job. We had set up portrait for the afternoon (wanted the sun side lighting) but the thunderstorms were coming back so we had to push up the shoot. With the incoming thunderstorms comes the winds, fierce winds, it was a challenge but it was fun. The Helo is always parked in this spot on the call, ready to to fly so it was set in place. Tammie has those great glasses so the combo of the Helo and the glasses is how I determined where I was going to be and therefore, the Profoto B1 with the 5′ Octa. Sharon almost blew away with that big sail on the ramp, but as you can see, it worked out just fine. Where was the Octa? Carefully placed as close to the camera as it could be put at the spot so, Angle of Incidence equals Angle of Reflection put the Octa just out of the frame of her glasses. Love doing these, especially when they are so unique!
