Ferris Wheel Princess | 07:40AM Apr 23, 2008
I don’t know what happened. I went from not having nearly enough material to edit/post to now having four shoots in as many nights. The images are piling up, and I couldn’t be happier.
This latest burst of photographic inspiration has not only lead to some pretty darn cool shots, but has also pushed my knowledge of location lighting to the limit. Reading, When it Clicks by Joe McNally every night, and trudging my gear out into the world every day has most definitely improved my lighting skills.
Take this shot for instance. I knew I wanted to show the beautiful colors of the spring time sunset. I also knew that I wanted my lighting set-up to be as dynamic as possible. My challenge was to incorporate everything into one frame—especially the skeletal Ferris wheel.
The end result is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. A edgy twist on the classical late afternoon portrait session.
Make sure to leave your thoughts, and I will be more than happy to reveal the lighting set-up for anyone who wants to know.
