This photo was taken to promote the new Public Safety and Forensic Institute area within the Criminal Justice facility at MSSU. in this image, a CJ student examines a 9mm shell casing in the ballistics lab. The ballistics lab allows students to scan shell casings with ballistic cameras that analyze and document various shell characteristics. 

I lit this photo using a single monolight with a blue gel that was bounced off the adjacent wall. The rest was lit from the computer screen. 

This is a marketing photo that was taken to promote and market MSSU's esports team. This image was taken inside the Midwestern Regional Esports Center. Within the lab are multiple gaming stations.  Each station houses a PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, or a combination of a few, we offer a well-rounded gaming experience for all players regardless of their platform of preference.

 "MOSO Esports empowers students to compete at the highest level, build strong teams through communication and collaboration, and have a blast growing a bold, inclusive gaming community on campus."

The "screen" lighting their face is actually a softbox aligned horizontally and gelled to be more blue in color. I had the team members pretend to watch the screen as the student in the center "played" a game.
