Photoshoot with Brandi

Photoshoot with Brandi

A friend and fellow photographer and I had the opportunity to shoot a local young and rising model Brandi. The shoot held at a local state park.  I brought along a Alien Bee AB800 strobe/monolight, a beauty dish, a Vagabond power supply and  a Kacey Pole Adaptor to hold it all together.  The Kacey Pole adaptor was kind of the missing link for me that makes bringing studio gear into the field manageable.... [Read more]

Strobist Sports Portraits – Setup #2

The second setup for the Strobist Sports Portrait shoot was a one light setup outside.  I used the same White Lightning 1600 with the 7″ 20 degree grid outside in the beautiful clear day.  It was bright out there!  The plan for this shot was to “over power the sun”.  That big ass White Lightning strobe with a pretty dang tight grid allows me to shoot a small enough aperture and... [Read more]
