When setting up a photoshoot, one of the most significant decisions a portrait photographer can make is the stylistic choice between shooting outdoors or in the studio.
Editorial Studio Portraits
With editorial portraits, you always want to mix things up so you have a good variety of looks to choose from. For this shoot, I started with a Westcott FJ400 with the Joel Grimes Beauty Dish on camera left, with the Westcott FJ80 as a hair light behind my subject, camera right.
Minimal Reception Lighting With Maximum Results
I have never met a photographer that hasn’t struggled with their reception lighting setup and after years of trying to come up with the perfect setup, I’ve slowly realized that like everything else, less is more.

Lighting On Location – An Afternoon With a Terminator

Shallow Depth of Field Portraits Using High-Speed Sync
One of the advantages of using high-speed sync off-camera flash is for shallow depth of field portraits.
Getting Creative With Lighting
One of my favorite things about studio photography is that it provides a blank canvas for endless possibilities.
