Would I be right to assume those portrait shot clouds are a photoshop addition? If not, how bizarre!

thanks

David said...: Hi AG,

I wondered if I'd get asked that question! I agree with you, they do look like they've been added in Photoshop, but I promise they're entirely natural.

It was very sunny for most of the afternoon and there was no natural shade. I therefore decided to wait for a cloud to appear before doing the group shots and my wish was granted!

All the best,

Duncan said...: Hy David,

For outdoor portraits do you use any kind of reflector to help you out?
I imagine they are great on a sunny day where you can place the subject in the shade and direct the light back in. How do they work on a typical cloudy british day? I imagine you need to get in very close - so might as well use a flash/softbox right?

I quite like the look of this product however for a solo photographer http://www.lastoliteschoolofphotography.com/using-the-uplite
what would be your take on it?

Many thanks; 23 July 2009 16:43
David said...: Hi Duncan,

You're spot on. I rarely use a reflector but instead opt for a Lastolite micro Apollo softbox mounted on my 580EX II Speedlite (in combination with a digital pro-M Custom Bracket) to add a kiss of flash. Search my blog and you'll find posts on these devices.

If I really need to use a reflector I recruit a guest!

All the best,
