After the final ball was struck, the trophy was raised, the last interview was made, and Samantha Stosur was able to relax for a few minutes…a small group of five photographers was granted an exclusive photo shoot with the Champion on the roof of the Market Pavilion Hotel in downtown Charleston. We had a beautiful view of the city skyline. Since the sun was at her back, I used it as her hair light and set up an off-camera SB-800 to my left as the main light and another SB-800 behind her as a kicker or rim light. Both were fired by an on-camera SB-900 in Commander Mode using RadioPoppers to translate the signal. I used a Nikon D3 with 70-200 f2.8 for the shot. Sam was a pleasure to work with. I wish her all the best and hope she goes on to win many more titles!
