I had the great opportunity a few weeks ago to do a test shoot for a couple models from The Mattison Agency. Ty sent over Crystal and Sarah. I also got to work with Melanie a very talented makeup artist, and my clothing stylist friend Marchlena.
A while back, I purchased an Orbis Ring Flash Adapter, but I’ve only pulled it out of my bag once. I thought this looked like a great opportunity to give it a workout, so I pulled it out of my bag along with my Canon 580EX; it worked pretty well, though I did have to crank the ISO up a bit to get enough light to the wall…which is really not a problem for my 5DMark2. This combination doesn’t have nearly as much power as the Alien Bees ABR800 I’ve used to own. The other shots were taken with an Alien Bees B800 with a 22″ beauty dish and 40°grid.
Thanks to Ty for sending over such great models to work with .
First is Sarah Kenney:
