This last weekend I had a great time visiting Southern France for a 50th Birthday Party. However, this didn’t stop me taking some portraits while I was there! In fact, over the last 10 days, I’ve ended up with about 100GB of images to sort through. I’ve been all over the place…
The portrait frenzy started with this simple natural light frame of Sarah.
Then it was time for a little bit of flash light.
Then back to natural light with Corrine.
Bradley poses in this shot in the same location.
Now is was time to start doing some group shots. Used 2 flashes to light the same location.
Still using 2 flashes I managed to light everybody in this frame with an added bit of post-production madness 🙂
I used 2 point lighting in this frame of Corrine.
I love how the tree top is just visible in frame to encompass Corrine and Bradley in this brother and sister photograph.
A slash of flash to light Corrine. Its amazing how many different shots you can get from a single location.
With the same flash setup as used in the previous image and a slight change of angle gets another shot on these stairs.
I like how the tree branch with the red rose on the left breaks up the texture of the wall to balance the frame with Sarah wearing her red top.
I took a while to find a pose that worked for this water well garden feature.
After we were finished with the stairs and surrounding garden features, it was time to move onto new locations.
Okay, now I'm getting quite excited with this wall and using a combination of colour correction and colour effect gels on the flashes together with a colour temperature adjustment on the camera.
I like the blue with a hint of orange colour combination in this frame.
Sarah was great to work with and was she was quite patient while I tried new lighting techniques and camera angles.
I really like the door texture in this frame! Enhanced it during post production.
Sometimes I wish I had 3 flashes. But still... I'm quite happy with how this frame looks.
Bradley and Sarah are not a couple but never-the-less, I like how this frame works.
A slight change in pose makes another nice frame.
The last frame of the day...
