Cassal di Caelkriss

Last week, I had the opportunity to do a shoot with Erica. We were scheduled to be in the studio at 2pm, but along the way we ran into some snags that put us almost an hour off schedule. Fortunately, we still had enough time in the studio and we head out to downtown Elmhurst to do some outdoor shots.

I was really happy with some of the results. The rough start had me a bit off beat in the beginning, but after things got moving along, I think we clicked into a good rhythm. Once we hit downtown and found some spots, things really fell into place. The sun was providing some great golden back lighting, and I used my Fong diffuser on my Speedlight for flash fill.  For anyone looking to do flash photography, I’d highly recommend investing in a Gary Fong Lightsphere.  It doesn’t look the most dignified, but after you see the results, you really won’t care what it looks like.

Erica was really great to work with.  She was very easygoing, and we had a really fun and relaxed session.  Here are a few picks from the shoot.
