I spent Sunday “playing†for a change.
Just because I’m a photographer, doesn’t mean I can’t still have fun.
It’s actually great not to think about what the client might want.
When I shoot for myself, I get to experiment and see what works and what doesn’t.
Event
It was a surprise 89th birthday party for Velia, my wife’s grandmother.
Birthday Girl–Velia with her boyfriend Bill in great spirits. They are a reminder to me to laugh at lot and to laugh often. Life’s too short. 2 light setup. Main light a 800 Watt/sec White Lightning into a silvered umbrella. Full size reflector on the right as fill. Backlight is another White Lightning head with blue gel into a grey muslin backdrop.
Since it’s not often that side of the family gets together, I dragged out my lighting gear.
