Lights, Camera, Portrait
Lately I have been really wishing I had a better handle on using artificial lights like speedlights and other strobes. This interest has more or less been sparked by reading Joe McNally’s The Hot Shoe Diaries at the suggestion of my TA.
So when I was asked to create a few portraits for one of my shooting classes this quarter I checked out a few speedlights and justin clamps and got to work making a few photographs of a friend on the track and cross country teams. I know I still have a lot more to learn and grow but I was pretty happy with a few of the shots in my take.
