Most of our work is done outdoors or on location… which doesn’t give me a huge opportunity to use my studio lighting.  It’s easier for me to setup a a couple of speedlights and call it a day.  Our next large gig; however, is the Annual Holly Ball – a formal sponsored by the Davis Memorial Hospital Auxiliary… So out come the strobes.  I figured I should check them out, make sure my bulbs were good and etc.  I’m happy to report that all is well.  Melanie and King(unwillingly) volunteered for this project.  I took a couple of tests shots and then packed the lights safely away.  This shot came out nice, but wasn’t really planned.  You can see the hair light highlights King’s head but misses Melanie’s.   Fill light and reflector were removed to create a more dramatic effect.
