Welcome to Comic Con
The top spot to hold a convention is almost always awarded to Orlando. We also rank high for crazy new stories, but that's not important right now. Being an Orlando photographer and director I've seen plenty of conventions come and go. I've seen the pet industry convention, the helicopter convention, the body building convention (couldn't get into that one), the landscape show, the Star Wars convention (see that blog post here), and most recently Comic Con. And because these conventions always draw a fun, and sometimes odd, cross-section of society they are often visually very interesting and tell a fun story. These kinds of things tap into my passion for editorial portrait photography.
I've never gotten a chance to use a ring light so I figured this was as good a time as any to rent one and try it out. I'm happy with how the photos came out. They're drastically different from when I shot the Star Wars convention. Next time I'll probably change it up again just for the fun of it.
