Gymnastics Photo Shoot
I spent yesterday afternoon in a gym doing a stock photo shoot of gymnasts. The girls were a lot of fun and with their help (along with their coach) we hopefully kept the poses 'real'.
The extremely large room (12,000 s.f.+) was a challenge to light due to the rapid fall-off in the background. With my normal two softbox setup the athletes would have had a near black background. To solve this problem, I ended up firing a 600ws monolight at full power with only a reflector into the background to provide an adequate light level.
As I've said many times before, it is always great to go on location for these shoots. I especially want to say thanks to the young ladies on the team at Bailie's Gymnastics for being so helpful (and fun!).

what kind of release form do you get your models to sign or in this case the parents of the models? The reason I ask is I wanted to get a feel for the types of release forms being used that are acceptable for stock photography.

Since I shoot exclusively for iStock/Getty, I use their release. Here's a link:
