I worked with Graham Law to come up with some new ideas for our portrait photography shoots. Most people don’t see how wonderful their local environment is and we wanted to shoot something our town probably hasn’t seen before. This exercise was also about exploring a post-production style that was believable but not too overdone. Below are our images from the shoot with Hannah.
The first location with post-production utilising Nik Software’s Photoshop plug-ins to achieve the Indian Summer look.
Using good natural light available to us.
Now time for some more flash photography to add a little drama in an unlikely location.
This is photographed under a bridge and this particular location is popular with people taking their dogs for walks. This is a two flash setup with one flash lighting the stone ceiling and one lighting Hannah through a softbox.
Same location as the previous image… but with a different camera angle.
Still in the same location but looking toward the stairs and lit with a flash in a softbox.
A wider shot showing the stone ceiling of the bridge.
Still at the bridge a shot of Hannah lit with a softbox.
Creating something a little more cheeky! Adding a second gelled up flash.
End of the day in low light.
I love this frame to end the shoot.
