I had the idea of wanting to shoot a top-down image that really showed the body position of the runner through the shadow. This location is at a local park, and a walking bridge passes over the gravel trail below. This was the perfect location as it allowed me to get above my athlete (Will Goneau) as he ran through. It took a few tries to get the exact body position with the shadow, but since we were working in a small space, it was easy to have Will run through multiple times.

After getting the action shot, I utilized the bridge to shoot a portrait of Will. I was quickly able to put a light directly above and light him from the top down.
