Portrait of Traci

I had fun teaching my friend Meri some off-camera lighting and my philosophy for producing an image. Meri did most of the shooting but I was able to snatch a couple good ones during demonstrations.

Traci had modeled before and she has a great look. This shot was with one SB-800 fired through a shoot through umbrella. Nikon D300 with 85 1.4 lens @ 1/200 f4. I love this lens!

This photo was my demonstration of fake sun. It was darn near high-noon when we were shooting. I put a 1/2 CTO gel on a second SB-800 and had it held to the rear and camera right. I think it was full power. The other light source was a 1/2 powered SB-800 shot through a white shoot through umbrella.

I hope you got what you need Meri. I'm certainly pleased with these two images.
