Portraits of Americans and Their Guns

Photography Tips  •  Portrait Photography

On Boxing Day, Patrick Hall from Fstoppers headed out to the gun range to photograph ordinary Americans flaunting their new Christmas presents. The idea started out as a sort of a dare, but Hall took it seriously making it his next photo project:

The setup was simple, an Avengers stand to hang a 8 foot by 6 foot American flag, a simple two light setup, a smoke machine, and of course the camera.

It was a simple setup, as seen here.

Here are some of the results from the shoot:

What transpired wasn’t just another day at the firing range. Besides the overwhelming variety of weapons on display, Hall got to meet a wide variety of people as well, each with a unique story and reason for being there.
