Once again I was able to work as a photography assistant for the amazing photographer, David Tejada.
He teaches a workshop called Small Strobes, Big Results. In this workshop he teaches you how to use the small flashes, like the ones I have, and get studio quality results once only thought possible by the huge strobe lights that could barbecue a cow at 50 yards.
When he started teaching this, very few people believed that this was possible. (Getting good results from the small strobes, not barbecuing the cow with your studio strobes.) But holy shit, it's not only possible, it's more likely that you'll be able to obtain better results with smaller strobes due to the creative freedom they provide.
Now, I didn't get a chance to play today, I had to work. But, I'll always jump at any opportunity to glean any information from that man's brain and to try to get him to realize that he simply can not work without a good assistant.
Such as myself. Ahem.
I plan on taking the class as a student next time, rather than the hired help.
So, no fancy lighting shots tonight. Rather, candid shot of our model, Megan.
The picture is crap compared to what Dave was getting with the strobes. So, now if you'll excuse me, I am off to try to convince the wife I need a large softbox and dream of radio flash triggers...
Remember to click on the picture once or twice to see the picture in a larger format!
Until tomorrow....!
