Sasha Kashlinsky and NASA/ESA Euclid mission

In February 2013, The European Space Agency (ESA) announced that a team led by Alexander "Sasha" Kashlinsky of Goddard had been selected to be part of the Euclid mission. NASA and Science Systems and Applications, Inc (SSAI), Sasha's employer, both put out press releases announcing this major collaboration. I was asked to do a quick photo shoot with Sasha, with colorful images in the background. In addition, SSAI wished to include their logo prominently in their photos, if possible.

The resulting photos were used in the NASA press release and the SSAI press release.

Technical information: These photos were taken in Sasha's office, simply with a bracket-mounted flash (not full studio lights). Closeup exposure readings were taken of the computer monitors and that was used to set the ambient exposure, while the flash controlled everything else.
