Sunday night Kim and I was looking after Ethan and Kayla while Chong and KC went out for dinner.
Kims
dad and Dylan popped over for a couple of hours (Kims dad wanted to see
Aiden ;-)) and after dinner and after Aiden was asleep I set up the
studio to take some portraits of the kids. Main purpose was to
experiment a little to improve my photography skills...especially my study of shadows (It is easy to light, but harder to create meaningful shadows).
Lately I
have been doing more photography using all my flashes with wireless
triggers to get interesting angles and effects. A couple of days ago I
bought a couple of pieces of fabric in different colours (blue and red)
to use as backgrounds and the following photos are a result of Sunday
nights photoshoot.
I used one flash camera right in a 60*60 softbox, Hair light behind
camera left snooted. In retrospect I should have taken my 3rd flash and
used this to light the coloured backdrops to create better seperation...the highlights above are done in Post processing.
