Steve Bedell did a wonderful job of selecting these models for the portrait lighting workshop. It was overcast when I shot this image which caused a wonderfully diffuse light. This shot used all natural light without flash.
It took me a few times  to adjust the white balance comparing this and the previous image of this model. Finally, it occured to me that I had  simply increased the vibrance on the previous image giving the illusion that the white balance was different. Another lesson learned.

Senior portrait workshop

It was a pleasure working with this young lady. She is very talented and has a natural instinct for modeling.

Again, this was all done with available natural lighting.

A snoot was used to light the hair.

This is the first of a series of portraits that I shot at a natural lighting workshop with Steve Bedell. These are all shot using available light and an occasional light modifier. The young women in this series are not professional models, but seniors from local NH schools.
