A fun addition to the photography workshops<\/a> that I present, are the occasional Photo Walk in NYC<\/a>. We roam a small area in New York with a model, and look for interesting views and places as background. There’s no lecture style seminar, but I am there\u00a0to answer any questions about lighting, posing and photography in general. I want these events to be informative and fun … and for you to get some stunning images.<\/p>\n More details about\u00a0the Photo Walks: We travel light – no need to bring flashed and light-stands and tripods. Just a camera and a lens or two (or three).\u00a0The group is purposely kept small so that everyone gets a chance to shoot and move around. No clustering. I bring a high-powered Profoto B1 flash<\/a>\u00a0(affiliate<\/em>), and a softbox. There’s an assistant to hold up the light and help things run smoothly. I have enough Canon and Nikon transmitters on hand so that everyone can shoot independently.\u00a0Here we use\u00a0the narrow stripbox, the\u00a0Profoto RFi 1\u2019\u00d73<\/a>\u2019<\/a> softbox<\/a>\u00a0(affiliate<\/em>), specifically for how mobile it is.\u00a0My assistant holds the light up on a\u00a075″\u00a0tall Gitzo monopod<\/a>\u00a0(affiliate<\/em>).<\/p>\n The gear we use is mobile, and with a small group, it is easier to move around and still have everyone keep track of what we’re doing.<\/p>\n For this most recent photo walk, we met up in Brooklyn\u00a0on the East River waterfront, and from there we moved\u00a0around. Our model was Anelisa<\/a> – someone who would be familiar to any follower of the Tangents blog.<\/p>\n The photo above\u00a0had some retouching done with a home-brewed combination of the\u00a0Totally Rad Actions to get that faux cross-processed look.<\/p>\n Here is the original image, as well as the pull-back shot … as well as a few other images from\u00a0this Photo Walk:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n With these next two images, compare the light that we created … and then look at their respective pull-back shots to show how the flash was positioned:<\/p>\n With the second photo, we moved the light more to the side, in relation to how Anelisa was posed.\u00a0Compare\u00a0this to the\u00a0previous photograph, and you will see we now have\u00a0short lighting<\/a> on Anelisa, instead of the more even light. Also notice how her body was position compared to the light.<\/p>\n Do keep in mind that our own position in taking the photo, has as much impact on the final image as the position of the light.<\/p>\n We always have to keep that triangle\u00a0in mind: With the second image, we have the strong sunlight from behind as the rim-light. The combination of the flash and sunlight is quite dramatic. There’s a line of thought with the use of off-camera lighting, that you shouldn’t create a secondary light source, and that it looks unnatural. I don’t buy into that restriction. If the image looks good, it looks good, regardless of such finicky critique.<\/p>\n The lens used for both those images, was the Sigma 35mm f\/1.4 ART lens.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Of course, with a\u00a0photo walks, I am on hand to help with posing, and camera settings and any other questions.<\/p>\n For the future dates and more info about the Photo Walks, and how to sign up:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" recap: NYC photo walks – photography workshop A fun addition to the photography workshops that I present, are the occasional Photo Walk in NYC.
