AERIAL ARTIST HIGHLIGHT : JESS BIRD

Jess is one of the coaches that participated in the second aerial retreat that I photographed in the Summer 2023. She regularly performs professionally for local and regional events, including places like Las Vegas.




I don't think there's an apparatus that Jess can't do, and do well.



SHOT BREAKDOWN

CAMERA: SONY A7RIII
LENS: SONY 70-200 ƒ/4
APERTURE: ƒ/4
SHUTTER: 1/250
ISO: 160
LIGHTING: Godox AD600 w/16" Beauty dish, set at the same height as the aerialist (12'-14')
MISC: I used a circular polarizer to cut the ambient light enough to keep my sync speed from HSS, thus using less power
RIGGING: She is suspended from a 24' quad aerial rig, which I've photoshopped the legs out
