Shot with: Nikon D50 / Nikon 10.5mm Fisheye

I used this photo in a local photo show (Best of 2008 Photo Show by PJ Sykes in Richmond, VA) and below is the info that went along with it:

TITLE:
“Photochute”

DESCRIPTION:
This image was taken as a promotional photo for an indie/ pop rock Richmond, VA band called “Love & Reverie.” Inspired by childhood memories of elementary school recess and gym class, the parachute was used to develop a creative, colorful shot that fans, and people in general, would surely enjoy. The photoshoot took place in the corner of an open soccer field at Iron Bridge Park in Chester, VA. The main focus and idea was to use the parachute and natural lighting as a fun, original way of stepping outside the “band promo box,” and creating something a little more memorable.

BIO:
Jason Collins is a 25 year old self-taught photographer that has lived in Midlothian/ Richmond, VA for over 15 years. However, he never fully embarced photography or owned his own camera until November of 2007. Since then, he has earned respectful recognition through the local music scene with consistantly creative concert and press portraits for local musicians. After recently expanding to occasional wedding photography, he is hopeful to continue doing additional freelance work for many years. Without top of the line equipment, as most area photographers, Jason’s eye for a great shot and his passion for the art has kept him motivated to succeed in a crowded field. Jason’s first published work can be seen in recent popular music magazine AP, as well as, photos of the local venue The National on their website and inside the venue itself.
