Dance Queen

Fri, 17 Jun 2016 04:29:19 GMT

Had the opportunity to photograph some dancers this past weekend. Was a huge mess as ten pounds of powder was tracked from the studio through the house, But was well worth the efforts.

most of these images were made using four canon ex600rt speed lights against a black background

I wanted to see how much of an image I could create totally within Photoshop and with out the use of a camera . This is what I came up with. Created with a few brush sets, and some clip art so to speak, and some creative lighting editing.

Family Photographs Kamloops

Had a great time making images for the Heffermen family on the weekend, and wanted to share a few from the gallery. I made these images with the use of four EX 600/RT speed lights on triggers and a moving boom stand, Thanks to my helper. During this session was using the sunlight as fill or back light, with the speed lights shot through an umbrella as key and the camera set to manual.

Samurai Warrior Shoot

Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:23:08 GMT

Got to return to one of my favorite locations Saturday and shoot some Samurai type images. Took some time to set this up, as both sides of this river and canyon had flash guns set with radio triggers placed at various locations.. The issue we ran into, was simply the fact that communication with the subject was slim to none, due to all the river noise and the long distances involved. In this first shot. I left the water cut short of the frame and a bright flash of color angled left to right in the background, This makes your eye wonder down the stream and away from the Samurai, and him a bit invisible

In this shot I left more of the water in the foreground, making the shot a bit more rounded out. On camera right is a beauty dish and flash gun set on a boom stand over and across that portion of the river. While my partner is holding another flash gun on a pole directed at the subject as fill light. It is important to remember that the ambient light is the key light, with the flash guns set as fill light.

The flash guns in the canyon, highlighted the areas to receive treatments in Photoshop in post shoot editing.

It is most important to draw a plan as to how you want to set up lighting and what you will need to bring to make it all work. Along with camera gear, keep in mind your subject will need to be taken care of as well.

Keep on shooting
