One light. Beauty dish high and left – about 6′ off white seamless. Fan held off camera left for motion in tie.

17 – 50 mm 2.8 Tamron – taken at 1/125th @ f/16 Flash a little over 1/4 power. Fired with Skyports. Learning how to meter now too

My little guy made it the FRONT PAGE on EXPLORE on 7/19/09 – maybe he’ll start letting me snap his pic a little more.

We were messing around yesterday doing some photos when I remembered how

inspired I was by a photo taken by flickr user TokyoBoy. So this is our own version.. without the cool Japanese location. © james madelin 2009.

I haven’t shot with Amarisse in a while, which is a travesty since it’s impossible to take a bad photo of her. Bad weather and Swine Flu have stopped us from doing anything in the last month, but we finally got down to work again yesterday.

We made our way out to Hwaseong Fortress for a Hanbok photo shoot, but had some time to bust out the new ring flash and put it to use. Kanye style, playa. And take a few minutes to get warm. It was cold.

I have some catching up to do on my processing, but here’s a SOOC shot until I get the Hanbok shots up next week. Word.

Lighting Information:
SB-80DX @ 1/2 power, Horrus Bennu Ringflash camera axis

Bella 73

yospyn.com – Bella and her sister Cassandra (makeup) came over to play this morning, this was the last idea we tried. It’s a ringflash on camera with an SB800 behind, ND filter to blur background, 1/250 f/9 @ 31mm. There’s another one like this but we decided to keep both her eyes in play. The waitstaff at Sette Osteria were very interested in what we were doing, as the background is the parking garage next to their outdoor patio.

Much thanks for Bella sweating out a cashmere scarf in 90 degree weather, although she claims not to have felt much heat. I, however, sweat CONSTANTLY during these sessions because the ringflash on a D2X and a 17-55DX is not exactly light. Not to mention carrying around a battery pack. Although the discovery of featherweight lithium batteries for the SB800 blew my mind.
