La Caille Bridal Show Ad

Worked on this until way too late in the night. Whoever thought making stripe bars match up perfectly in photoshop has more Adobe skill than I. That is until Chris rescued me and told me to just make a stroke around the whole thing. Silly me.
Voila! This is our goodie bag stuffer for the La [...]

The Power of Light :: Utah Photographer

Now this isn’t a Natural light vs. strobe lighting. I use natural light photography when appropriate. There are pluses and minuses for each of them.
Strobe Negatives:
More equipment needed. [Strobes, Light Stands, Battery/Battery Pack, Umbrellas, Reflectors, Gels, Books]
More Technical Knowledge which takes time to learn and perfect. [I'm still learning!]
Slow moving on a shoot & the [...]
