Portrait specialist Robert Seale offers on his blog the behind the scenes of Air & Space cover shoot with US Air Force Col Bud Day, still formidable at 87.

We started shooting before dawn – long exposures on a tripod with battery powered strobes. Nathan Lindstrom assisted on the shoot and did a great job. We used a Profoto 7B with a Plume Wafer Hexoval 180 on the side, and a Wafer 100 on another 7B boomed in front of the face as a fill. - saids Robert Seale
