Is it worth the hassle???

I would like honest opinion of this shot...I underexposed the background and lit it with 2 battery pack powered studio lights. Guess I'm questioning if the final outcome is worth the hassle!

I would add a bit more contrast but I like it

I like the shot. Could you describe your light positioning in a little more detail please?

Sure Tim!

Metered for the background and underexposed by 2 stops. Bride is lit by a Bowens 500 into a white brolly at approx 35 degrees to lens axis, groom is lit by another 500 with bare reflector and slightly under exposed. Both lights powered by Bowens battery pack.


Cheers Simon.

I like the shot, it just needs a bit more PP to give it a bit more punch. Some contrast would be good.

It's a nice shot ... but skip the lighting rig ... what a hassle in the middle of a wedding day.
