Heading into the weekend and wrapping this series

Portrait, portraiture, self portrait

What has everyone thought of the series? Have you tried this kind of shoot?

Here’s the “gift” I mentioned:

Would it surprise any of you to find out that this isn’t actually a true golden hour shot? This was manufactured using strobe and gels! Doesn’t it look legit?! There’s actually a strobe on the other side of this window. It’s setup tall and facing at a downward angle (to mimic the sun) and, I have it remotely firing through the blinds. Isn’t that cool. I LOVE the creativity involved with photography. I don’t NEED a sunny day to take sunny portraits; just a little bit of creativity.

Are any of you going to try this? You need a pretty powerful strobe and you need some quality CTO gels. 1 or 2 should do it.

Let me know how it goes for you if you try it!

Have a happy weekend!
