Long story very short.
My friend and sometimes wonderful assistant Ash Wright let me photograph a shoot he was going to do. A local designer and stylist were shooting some swimwear on the pool deck of a cool loft here in Nashville called Rhythm. I honestly was not feeling the shoot. I thought we were just playing, learning some new light stuff and all of that. Nope, it is actually for a fashion show. That is cool but I let it get to me for some reason. I think I am just exhausted. I am so glad that Ash kicked me and made me do this. The models were fun to work with and I was able to make some great images I think. I also have succumbed to using a soft-box with a 580. Many of you know that I do not use modifiers. The main reason for that is I did not want to spend the money to get all of the stuff. I am pretty cheap. My friend Bruce Dorn sent me one of his strobe slippers for Radio Poppers. It took months for me to put this together. Bruce I want to thank you so much for sending me this stuff to play with. Really amazing. Anyway, I had an old soft-box in storage that I went and dug around for. Got the whole rig together and now I use modifiers.
These are lit with one sometimes 2 580 ex2 using Radio Poppers in ettl mode. ALL STUFF I HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE! I’m a manual type of guy. Mike Fulton would be proud.
The main light is a medium Photoflex HV3. Don’t think it is made anymore but this is pretty close. MEDIUM SOFTBOX
The Images:
Hope your doing well and hope to see you soon.
