I’m love color.
Don’t ask me why but when ever I shoot I seem to think in color, but I also have to add that I LOVE black and whites, often when I shoot I think about a powerful black and white conversion, but somehow when I’m doing my retouch I love the black and white conversion but in the end almost always still choose the color version.
Now it’s a fact that you have to beware not to get stuck in one style….. so I thought let’s do a blog post about this.
I get a lot of questions about this so I decided to would maybe be time to dedicate a blog post to our good friend the light meter.
Yeah you probably already know where I stand in this “debate” that has been raging over the internet ever since we have cameras with the instant polaroids on the back, the light meter has done it’s work and can now be retired is a trend you hear more and more. In this blog post I will “try” to tell you why this is not true and why the light meter is of vital importance for your work, and also share some tips on buying the correct one.
Via Twitter the question was brought up what I look for in a portrait and what my approach normally is for a portrait. At first I thought that this would almost be impossible to answer for the simple reason that every portrait and every person is different. However after some thinking I came up with the following blog post.
shot with natural light
Jessica was our model for the Advanced III workshop from last Saturday.
The Advanced III workshop is aimed at working outside and so it is that when the weather allows we will go outside and work with a mix of rangers or small flash. This time we choose for small flash.
The gear used in the outside shots :
Canon 5DMKII
Canon 24-105 F4 L IS
Pocketwizard TT5 and TT1
Sekonic L758
Canon 580EXII
