Recent Portraits

On a recent photo shoot of a restaurant I was asked to take a quick portrait of the restaurant owners - a husband and wife who came to Canada from Vietnam.  David, featured here, left Vietnam under terrible circumstances - the bullets were flying as he and this family hurried into the boats.  Now, he and his wife are successful business people living in Edmonton.

This was a quickly improvised portrait taken with the Canon 5DII, Canon 85 f1.2 lens and a a single Canon 580EX speedlight off camera with an umbrella modifier triggered by Pocketwizard transmitter and receiver.  Took about 45 seconds to set up for this shot.
