Just before we would leave for PSW (PhotoshopWorld) I got an email from a female DJ (DJ Wong) if I would be willing to do a photoshoot for her while in Vegas. Well I love shooting artists so I said yes, the problem was….. we didn’t have a location, so what do you do?

 

Indeed… you improvise.

The Photoshoot actually took place in our hotel room and I used a mix of natural light and 2 Phottix Mitros+ strobes with the Sony A7RII and OdinII trigger. Due to the stress in both our schedules the whole shoot had to be completed within 90 minutes, and I’m glad to say….”we did it”.

Today some of the results.
In the first setup we did (with the chair) I used mostly natural light (and a few with strobes).
After this we used a wall in our room as backdrop, by bending the “frankdoorhof” flash bender and aiming the strobe down you can create a really cool halo like lighting effect on the background, I absolutely love this for quick portraits on location. Finally we ended up in between the doors to our bathroom and I used a blue gel to “spice” the background up a bit.

Hope you enjoyed this series.
