Hi and welcome back.

Last Wednesday I ran an off camera flash shooting event with BH Photo on the High Line in NYC.  The High Line is an old elevated rail that serviced the Meat Packing district that has been abandoned and turned into a walking park.  It is a great Manhattan sight seeing stop.

My event was sponsored by Expoimaging, and we shot small flashes with Large Rogue Flashbenders with diffusion panels attached.

Here’s a gallery of images from me and a few other photographers from our day.  We got fantastic results with simple equipment.  Be sure to check out all the BTS shots of the group using Rogue products.





















That’s it for now.  Today I’m at EP Levine in Waltham, MA running a closed event for them.

I’ll be at Adorama on May 3, check out the link here and join me for some OCF fun:

Till next time, happy shooting!

Happy Easter and Passover and the Natural Light Portrait

Hi and welcome back.

I’d like to wish everyone a Happy Easter and Passover season.  It is a beautiful time of year to spend with family and friends.

Now the natural light portrait.

Even though I’m deeply involved in Off Camera Flash and regular studio lighting, I do use natural light.  But you need to learn how to use and modify it for your need.

The following images are direct raw to jpeg conversions without any processing.  I want to show the direct, raw difference between modified light sources.

For a short series of portraits, I used natural window light in my studio.  Here’s my setup:

Here’s the resultant shot from this setup:

The light is hard and contrasty.  While this can be a desired result, more often than not it isn’t.  So I added a white sheet over the window to diffuse the light a bit more:

Now, here’s the resultant shot from adding that bit of diffusion:

By simply adding the sheet, I added diffusion and a softbox-type glow to the image.  This is a more desirable result that I did simply and easily.

So add a white sheet to your kit and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the difference in your natural light photography.

That’s it for now.  Till next time, happy shooting.
