We travelled light by my standards with only a Quadra pack, couple of heads and a 70cm softbox. Also a small lastolite tri grip. We shot a mixture of daylight and flash during the day using the Quadra on lowest power for a little fill and then pushing it to the max for some hard shots. I love wandering the streets and just looking for backgrounds to use and which lighting is appropriate for the background that we are using. Because of the weather we had to work quick which meant we didn’t have too much time to “work” the shot as much as we wanted to. But considering the elements we came away with some beautiful images.

Full power Quadra meant we could over ride the ambient light, shot at 80th sec @f22 with the Quadra A head through a 70cm softbox.

Shot at 125th sec @f8. I love shooting into the sun like this, it is very demanding but rewarding when it works.

Looking for items to make a shot work is a big part of what we do. This bike was the perfect color and matched the models handbag perfectly!

Concrete is a great background to work with and would love some panels in the studio! This small concrete panel down a backstreet made a perfect backdrop for a series of shots. Sometimes keeping it simple is the best way to go about things. Shot using a Quadra head on 1/4 power with a 70cm softbox.

Shot on iso 320, 1/100th sec @f11 at 3/4 power.

Taken using daylight, 400 iso, 60th sec @f2.8 with a small Lastolite reflector.

Taken towards the end of the shoot with the rain coming down, 640 iso, 1/60th sec @f9.
This was a great session in Amsterdam and the first time we have shot fashion abroad in the streets anyway. Our 1-1. 2-1 & 3-1 sessions are catered and tailored to your own personal needs.
