Ron Shoots

We had the opportunity today to shoot at one of the finest hotels in the Charlotte area. We started with a small shoot covering basic business, leisure and room service. We’ll be back in the spring for spa and golf shots.

Lighting & Tech Info

(Thanks Sara for the cellphone production pix! That’s Luke, our full-time photo assistant, working hard…)

Used our battery powered Hensel strobes and natural light today, or a combination of both. Mixing light sources generally provides a more natural look, although the color-correction afterwards can be tricky. When using the strobes, I kept it simple- one soft box for the main light, and one light in the background to add an edge light to the models. The power pack is dialed as low as it will go to allow for both a shallow depth-of-field and shorter exposure time to capture the natural light. With the natural light on a dark day, I needed 1/5th of a second exposures so everything was on a tripod.
