1st Patio Portraits
Shot this at the patio and used 1 light while utilizing the sun as my fill. Same set up for both corners. The first one I tried to angle him in a way to use the shadows and bench to layout the shot.
2nd studio Portraits
I love playing around with the smoke. Had the smoke machine right behind Joivan on top of a chair and an apple box. While using a 2 light set up on him lighting his face and highlighting his right side.
3rd studio Portraits
Wanted to capture emotions on these shots so I set Joivan up with the AD600 Pro and attached a small soft box. Created a nice elegant look while still keeping that highlights on his face.
4th studio portraits
Kept it really intimate and close with this so I switched back to the AD300 Pro with a small soft box. I also switched the lens to capture those details on his face.
