More Mikah

From the recent shoot down under Scripps Pier - La Jolla

Another one from the 'one eye in focus' series!

Daylight fill-flash from the Quadra Flash

All beautiful, Chris. I'm partial to #3 especially, but I'm keen to know what you used to light both 3 and 4. Do tell won't you?

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Brian - I used the Elinchrom quadra flash head shot through a translucent brolly on #3 and #4

I plan to return, with Mikah (in a more high fashion get-up) and next time have some fill-flash in the arches under the pier - well that's the plan any way!

Gorgeous. Love the first most of all.

Gorgeous. Love the first most of all.

Thanks Rob - amazing what you can do with a concrete pillar!

I had Mikah stand next to the grey concrete, and used it as a reflector to bounce daylight into her face - while the sun washed out the background

I of course like all of them, since I admire beauty and how you have done it with elegance, but the two first ones are outstanding. Cheers.

Lovely set Chris. The light in the later ones is much more gentle now I think and the pose in the last shot works well. I like the shot with the textile but the pose cones not seem as 'natural'; maybe looking away might work. My favourite is the second though. Very natural in all respects.

Love them all Chris, nice shots!

Thanks Pete - #2 does seem to have the pop, and the DOF!

The translucent brolly is definitely more diffuse - and does't seem to soak up the power too much - might try the small soft-box on the next shoot, and will definitely be doing some shots with a larger reflector and grids for more directional lighting.

Love them all Chris, nice shots!

Thanks Aldous

No.2 for me....
