Team Proceed

Now that the January issue of Super Street has passed, I thought I should release some additional pics of Team Proceed that did not make the magazine.  What you guys don’t know is that this shoot was insane. It was nice to take an editorial approach for once and leave my lighting at home. However, this was probably the most tiring feature I’ve done to date. The shoot started around 7pm, and I didn’t get home until 6am the next day. The goal was to chronicle the team on a typical night out, and we did exactly that except for some small hiccups.  So without further ado, here are the pics.  Be sure to check out superstreet.com in a few months as they’ll most likely post up the original article.

We all decided to meet at Leigh’s place.  I think a few of the guys were unsure if they would be able to clear Leigh’s steep driveway, so Josh decided to setup some last minute cleaning across the street.

Virtually no lighting outside, so I needed to crank up my ISO to around 2000 or so to get these rollers.

There were a ton of these confused looks as I tried to explain what I was looking for with hand movements.

Once we arrived in the city, we ran into some bad luck. Luckily Josh was able to call a homie for a new tie rod.
