Recent Portraits

This is my personal favourite from the portrait session with Pam.  I think this is a perfect all purpose portrait suitable for corporate/professional use, a resume, your grandma's coffee table or your Facebook page.  Looks great in both colour and black and white.

All photos in this series taken with the Canon 5DII and Canon 24-105 lens.  F/8 at 1/125 sec, ISO 100.  Single off camera Elinchrom BX500 R1 with umbrella modifier camera right and white reflector camera left.  Canon 580EX flash with 450mm beauty dish provides separation between Pam and the grey backdrop.  Remote strobes triggered by Pocket Wizard wireless transmitter.  RAW Files edited in Adobe Lightroom 3.0.  Black and white conversion made with Nik Silver Efex Pro.  Final polishing of the image made in Adobe Photoshop CS5.

Props to the lovely Pam for trusting me with her portrait needs and for her patience and also to my sensational wife Terri whose talents extend to wardrobe, hair and make-up management.
