night time E-Session

joruiz · 27th of February 2009 (Fri)

So they didn't have time to do it during the day. So we did it at night time. There are many pictures I like, but haven't processed them yet. Here's a few of them:

man!! that 3rd shot is awsome! how did you light that one? is that a bare strobe in the front and a geled srtobe at the back?

joruiz · 28th of February 2009 (Sat)

Thanks Henry... the strobe in front is bounced in a silver umbrella, and this is the flash in the back as you guessed it:

I would have pooped had they said lets shoot at night. You did a fantastic job.

sancho1983 · 28th of February 2009 (Sat)

#3 and #4 are my favourites!

Love these - brings a whole new view to engagement photos. Not something you see very often. Great use of color. In the last image, is the purple color under the bridge also your set up?

geo1976 · 28th of February 2009 (Sat)

You accepted the challenge of working at night and nailed it. Great job.

roentarre · 28th of February 2009 (Sat)

The last shot is stellar!

joruiz · 28th of February 2009 (Sat)

Thank you all.

zagiace.. I was worried! but thankfully it all worked out well and we're very happy with the results.

Thanks Nicole, the purple light is casted by those little lights that you see on the background, not part of my setup but they look great. I also used those lights for the first photo.

geo1976, I'm really happy I did!

thank you roentarre!

cheers

Very nice shots, well done. Is this your first time doing a session like this at night? Your ideas on lighting worked very well indeed.

joruiz · 2nd of March 2009 (Mon)

thank you guys.

rammy, it is my first e-session at night but not my first session at night, I had other kind of sessions, like quinceaneras (sweet sixteen type) at night.
It's the first time I use the blue lighting though and I really liked it so I will use it more.. thanks!

Leave it on this all the time.
