I remember my first portrait shoot like it was yesterday. I setup my mobile portrait studio in my client’s house. I popped open my background stand and put on my black backdrop on it. Then I placed my two studio strobes in front of it; about 6 to 8 feet away from my back drop.After my shoot, I went home and downloaded the pictures into my computer. As I went through the first 10 or 15 photographs, I saw that my client looked great with all the different portrait poses. After I went through 40 or so photographs, I realized pictures had the same black backdrop. Which was ok, but I wish I had taken few different back drops with me. That way I could have had different back drops and whole look and feel of the photograph would have changed drasti photography basics cally. But it was too late!!!Few weeks later, I was asked to do a portrait shoot outside. At first, I didn’t know what to tell that person because I never shot portraits outside with natural light. I always thought portraits were suppose be taken inside; where I can control lighting and I get to pick what back drops I want. Outside, on the other hand, I get what I get. If it’s a sunny one minute and cloudy next, I would have to figure out quickly how to adjust for the lighting in my camera. If that wasn’t enough challenge, I had to figure out which location looked good for the portrait. On top of that, I ONLY had 25 minutes for whole portrait shoot. No pressure, right???So, we got to the location and I found the perfect spot for the portrait.
