Lighting To Lightroom: A Location Photoshoot | Zack Arias

Kishore Sawh

As the title suggests, Zack Arias takes you through and describes each step of a photoshoot starting with prep and gear, through shooting, and into post. It's a highly informative video that can teach you a lot if you listen to what he is saying, and teach you more if you read between the lines.

How We Shot it – Environmental Portrait with Singer-Songwriter Sabrina

fotosiamo

This environmental portrait is part of an editorial assignment that I had for Sabrina Claudio, an up-and-coming young singer-songwriter from Florida. In an environmental portrait, the surrounding tells just as much of the visual story as the subject. The client also wanted the lighting to look natural, so the trick here is to add just enough ambient lighting to balance out the three Einstein monolight strobes that I used to light this image.
