Reception Lighting : Using Multiple Off-Camera Flashes

When it comes to off-camera flash, the thought alone can be daunting – how do you start?  What modifiers do you use?  What if it’s sunny?  Is off-camera flash meant for portraits?  When do you use it?  When do you not use it? Now multiply that, go inside, and light a reception room.  Terrifying, right?  If […]

For a very long time, I thought that wedding photography Lightroom presets were a crutch to lean on when your images weren’t correct out of camera.  I’m a huge believer in getting the image right at the time of capture, making sure that your lighting, […]

There are pictures all over our house.  From the […]
