Holiday Party Guide – “Shoot & Tell”

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Tis the season for holiday cards to be bought, signed, shipped and forgotten.  To fight this un-merry trend, I teamed with Adam Mead and his crew at The Creative System to produce a holiday card to be enjoyed by all.

Here is how I had to shoot it:
The wood panel wall was super reflective so I had a hard time keeping streaks of light from appearing. I placed 2 side Canon Speedlites pointing directly to the middle so they wouldn’t hit the wall, only the models. I wanted all the images to have a gold tone to them so I had a 3rd Canon Speedlite aimed away from the scene and bouncing off a the gold side of my 74″ Impact reflector. To light the wall, I used 2 simple shop lights that helped to add to the gold tones.
