Ultra Portable Power Portraits

 

Volume ONE: Prepping & Shooting

Join Will Crockett on a real client shoot where he uses the simplicity of battery-powered flash to created three "Power Portraits" on three different locations. Known as one of the "go to" corporate photographers in the Chicagoland region, Will is used to CEO's that are uncomfortable in front of the camera and this job is just that - a newly appointed head of a union in Illinois has had some unflattering photos taken in the past and is gun-shy of photographers because of it.

Will needs to get three different looks with this CEO in only 90 minutes time and walk away with great images and a happy client.  To do that, Will and his assistant need to move fast and be smart with their gear choices. Sounds like a perfect job for light, ultra portable battery powered flash with a little TTL exposure control too!

 

Volume TWO: Lighting Details and Post Processing

In this episode, Will shows you the details behind the three "studio look on location" lighting setups from his real client shoot seen in volume ONE.

The ShootSmarter studios are filled with examples of all kinda of lighting from Nikon and Canon. From the flash gear selection and prepping to move it in only a few small cases, to simplifying the wireless systems for the light control and the wide variety of light modifiers used to keep the light interesting, you get to see how a professional travels light and shoots big.  See where this skilled photographer trusts TTL and where he prefers to use AUTO and Manual flash exposure modes to create over 300 images in only JPEG mode with perfect color and excellent exposure - no corrections needed.

You also get to see how the entire job is moved from the computer, through post processing for some minor fine tuning, to a web gallery for client access in less than 2 hours.  No matter if you use one simple speedlight or a pile of Qflash T5dR's, making high quality Power Portraits that keep clients happy is easy to do if you understand the Flash Foundations.
