Yongnuo’s YN-E3-RT transmitter with built-in infrared autofocus assist beam was instrumental in this picture. ISO 400 1/30 f4 with 17mm lens Canon 5DMark2 using 2 600-EX-RT Speedlites placed about 10 o’clock and 3 o’clock set to 1/8th power.

I reached out to my Facebook connections and got a hold of Nikkal Feyrouz , a professional belly dancer who happens to have boa constrictors as pets.
I had seen her posting featuring her snakes on Vyper Vixen on Facebook so I thought first about a location or setting.

Nancy, Brenda and Mary pose with “Burrito” during the Shimmy for Critters fundraiser at the Riverside Animal Shelter.
A common mistake when selecting a photoshoot location is not accounting for 3 dimensions around your subjects.
If all you are photographing is one person for a headshot and not their full body, then you won’t need a lot of room.
But when you take on 3 or more people in a photo, then you will encounter all kinds of headaches. Continue reading Belly dancer portraits at “Shimmy for Critters 2014” →
