When Less is More



Cadia is a tri-athlete who competes for charity. I was assigned to get a portrait of her. She lives in an apartment complex which isn't the most athletey place so I suggested we take a walk. I had all of my lighting gear with me but decided to ditch it all save one SB-600 (outdated I know) and we headed straight for a nature trail. All I did was frame her up with her head blocking out the sun and added a simple fill and wvalah... a portrait! I think less was more in this situation because I didn't have to deal with the no outlet problem or carrying around Dynalites, I needed to be as more mobile. If I had I probably would have only used one.
