Third First

The home studio has been inactive for a while, but I got to set it up recently to shoot this little girl's portrait commemorating her first Holy Communion. I was also fortunate to have done this for her two older sisters.

This is a fairly simple setup. I used my Alien Bees in the large octo-box for the main light camera left and one of my Nikon SB-800 shoe mount strobes with a Photoflex Lightdome XS softbox camera right to the rear. The AB was triggered by cybersync radio remote, the SB-800 was triggered in SU-4 slave mode. The backdrop is my go-to plain white paper.

I posted about her older sister's portrait in this post...

All in a Days work

It is a bit of a hassle to set it all up and take it back down for a ten minute shoot, but I do miss it sometimes.
