Cafe Portraits

These portraits was an outdoor shot. Using 100% natural light. Now the feel was a little bit on the warmer tone because when we filmed this there was a few brush fires around the area.


1st Studio Portraits

We saw this bush wall of bush and shot the portrait with a AD300 Pro. I had it mounted on a light stand and asked Alfonso to hold it facing down towards Hayley’s head. Gave her a nice dramatic effect with a nice glow.


2nd Studio Portraits

This shot was a 1 light set up. We used the AD600 Pro with the GODOX P120L octabox.


3rd studio portraits

This was a similar set up from the 1st Studio Portraits but the light was slightly higher and pointed down. Which gave her more shadow on the face and a dramatic look.
