I haven't posted for a while, just crazy busy with life, work and more work ! lol..

from a recent wedding..

Josh and Bailey probably had many a dates before they were married.. but my vision was to have a romantic moment in his amazing 1965 mustang.

lighting on this was 3 lights.

1. Key light was a 550 Speedlight with a shoot thru umbrella camera right about 6-8 feet away @ 1/2 power

2. Rear Left back lighting was AB1600 with Yellow Gel with 64 PLM about 10 feet back for the rear corner lighting

3. Rear Right back lighting with Red gel for the highlight held by the Bride's Brother Jesse @ 1/8 power (thanks Jesse !)

^^^ Absolutely love that one!! Wowzer! You captured the emotions perfectly & lighting is spot on!

Cheers Pham! As regards the light - it was placed behind that wall to the right - the room is recessed in that way. The whole shot was composited together as the baby was in a terrible mood so they had to take turns with her!

these are very nice. I like the dark background with bright red clothing. I LOVE the natural skin presentation (though admittedly, i may be in the minority on that one).

Looks like a few hot spots need to be tamed with umbrella/shoot through.. or softbox. I often don't have mine with me when casually stolling, and when take a pic w/o it, i immediately wished I did have it when i see the result.

Very nice work overall!

"best in class" Pham!

question... on the blue lighting streaks.. PP or natural? either way, spectacular.

definitely PP but I REALLLLY want to know how to do make em!

Incredible as awlays

The lens flares are pretty distracting for me.

I have to agree with you on that, but Damn! that is a nice photograph :O. And I'm not just saying that as a Pham-boy (get it cheesy pun )
