Strobist Boot Camp Headshot Assignment

Lighting: Flash bounced to a white foamcore on the left and DIY roof insulation reflector on the right. I compensated for the exposure 2 stops down to soften the sunset on the background (from the Strobist tutorial). Very minimal PS contrast adjustment, sharpening and cleaning done.

Equipement: Canon EOS 300D and two able-bodied (and cheap) assistants as lighting stands/grips.

Behind the pic: Just right in time for the Strobist Bootcamp assignment, a group of Bohol-based singers were hiring me to do the photography, graphics and lay-out for their album. Consequently, some photos in this series were published on the lifestyle section of a local newspaper. Posted this without permission since copyrights are mine as per agreement. :)

Down at the Strobist School of Lighting

Good things come easily as all things do. But for the better things in life, you have to have patience, hardwork and well, some luck.

As a self-taugt photographer, I seldom come across the better stuff. But with Strobist blog, I have found the best that I - in my own capacities and level - need direly.

Just some thoughts to honor David.

Thanks.
