For this image, I not only used flash, but I shot in high-speed sync. Why? Again, to stand out. Notice the images have a very milky background. Almost fake. Those clouds are there. That is not photoshop. Instead, I opened my aperture way up to create a shallow depth of field. That is what gives the image this milky look and allows my subject to pop off the background. The downside to this is that your flash has to work that much harder to push out the light that is needed at high shutter speeds. The Profoto B-10 Plus with the Telezoom is the perfect answer. It gives me another stop to stop and half of power.
I hope you love these images and they inspire you to get out there and try something new.
