Had a fabulous day shooting with David at Stockport Town Hall today. Two models, four wedding dresses, one make up artist and two photographers made for a very busy and productive day.
The lighting was courtesy of Garry Edwards who very kindly lent me a 300W head and a Fresnel Lens which gave just the look I was after. Speedlights would not have the power, the effect or the range to do what I wanted given the size of the location.
The pics will need sorting and a bit of photoshop polishing but on downloading I'm more than happy. Should the venue, the dress designer and the models be happy too, it will be a day well spent.
I learned more about lighting on location too! I sometimes know when it's not right but not why and how to get it right. But I learned that sometimes there is a simple solution at hand and straight down the middle it is!
Thanks to both my fellow TP'ers for their contributions
