The Strobist in Me {learning to light} | Newfoundland Photographer
Friday, November 26, 2010
I have to admit, when I was first introduced to the idea of off-camera flash, I was a little apprehensive. I had become so comfortable bouncing my flash, that just the idea of learning a "new way" was a little too intimidating. It didn't take me long to realize I was being silly. I felt the same way about switching from slide film to digital and I'm looking at buying my fourth digital camera. So, my slight fear of change, obviously doesn't have much baring.
My initial experiments with lighting in the studio started out simple. One flash, off-camera and a light box. The light produced was crisp, clean and if the flash was positioned correctly, there were no shadows. I thought, if only you could get that kinda light on a larger scale. Answer: two umbrellas and two light stands.
Studio lighting is where I learned the most this year. The different styles, techniques and lighting equipment can be overwhelming. The key is to find the right inspiration. I've done a lot of research and studied the work of many masters of lighting. I'm also lucky to share my passion for photography with my Dad. Having someone to bounce ideas off, learn from and experiment with, is awesome. We've experienced many "wow" moments together. Remember the Beneath the Bottle post. We couldn't believe what was possible.

I can't begin to explain how much fun we had. Leah was fantastic. She didn't even look at me crazy when I said, "OK, now wrap this scarf around your head." We focused on head shots {for now}. But, I have a feeling you'll be seeing more of Leah on my blog.

Ann-Marie + Ryan {facebook love story} | Newfoundland Wedding Photography
Tuesday, November 16, 2010
Ann-Marie and Ryan couldn't have asked for a better day for their wedding. The weather was incredible. I still can't believe I managed to stay outdoors in a shirtsleeve shirt for two hours. Usually, myself and the wedding party are forced in doors to avoid having to defrost the poor girls in strapless dresses. That being said, I didn't think bridesmaid Victoria {known for being cold all the time like myself} was going to make it. But, she stuck it out for her friends.
Well folks, this is my last wedding story for a while. The 2010 wedding season has come to an end. I anticipate just as much excitement, beautiful couples and fantastic weddings to come in 2011. In the meantime, I have many upcoming photo session and personal projects to share. In fact, I'm off to the studio now :)
Thanks for following!
