Janna in Colors
I really appreciate the patience of Janna while I took more than 15 minutes to find the right position for the lights to achieve the right color coverage on the wall behind her. She did great by keeping her concentration and giving me a great pose to work with. It made the effort worthwhile!

(Lights: used a green and a blue gel on 2 speedlites placed on the ground. The model was lighted with a single speedlite in a Exybox 80 high above her)

Keeping it simple

KISS: Keep it simple, stupid. What a great advice. I’ve a mind that likes to make simple stuff complex. It’s hard not to. But from time to time an image like this one reminds me that it only needs to be as complex as it’s required to get get the light where it’s needed to get a great image, not more.
You see? such a complex sentence to say something so easy:
As simple as possible: That is the best choice.

For this beauty portrait of Britt, only a Ezybox 60 with a speedlite 580EXII was used, high on top of her head, pointing at her face. Click. Done.
I think I like simple.

An experimental image taken during a photo session with Czech model Iva.

Light Info: one 580EX II on an Ezybox 60 in front and to the side and one 580EX + blue gel on the back directed to the model.
Combining different color temperatures in one image can give some interesting results.
