Alexandra
Alexandra was going to be a guest speaker in a conference and needed updated portraits. She reached out and we worked on a few different looks so she could have an array of options, both for the conference and for social media use.
My gear list was kept on a minimum, making it that much easier to transition between locations: a Nikon D750 and a Sigma ART 50mm and a collapsible Profoto reflector.
The overcast day provided beautiful, soft light from all angles. The flash was kept in the bag and I only used a reflector on one location to fill in the shadows.
Fernando & Ana
It’s been a few years since I’ve been in Algarve, but whenever we go, we always try to see Fernando and Ana, who are wedding photographers based in Guia, Algarve. One of the last times we got together, I managed to get my hands on a giant octabox and shot a couple of portraits of them both.
The setup was pretty straightforward: I shot a Nikon SB28 triggered using a pair of Pocket Wizard Plus III through the softbox, positioned camera right for all the portraits.
