Tactical team members training rappel techniques off a city centre office tower. Photo by Jimmy Jeong

I think what I will miss most about living in Edmonton, Alberta are the great friends I made along the way. These tactical police photos are a perfect example of the people I've met here and the trust built up. Which in turns leads to access into people's lives. I've been given a great opportunity to tell their stories.

I guess my story will continue in NYC. I hope you will come along for the ride.

Thanks to my best friend Marcus Bence for helping me with this extremely difficult shoot.

The Technical Stuff: Aside from my slight fear of heights, this was pretty straight forward in terms of lighting. Two alien bees lights with strip boxes were used to create the rim lights. Marcus held a shoot-thru style umbrella with a Nikon SB800 speedlight right above my head. I had a Rayflash ring-light on my lens for fill. For the portrait shots, we used just the alien bees with strip boxes and a flashlight. This was due to the late hour and high ISO. Thank goodness for the Nikon D3S and it's wonderful low light capabilities.
