Testing out a lighting technique …

Hi All,

Not wanting to waste any time, I grabbed some of the Heathrow ARV (Armed Response Vehicle) guys today for a quick photo shoot. Like I mentioned on a previous post, I’m looking at trying out a few lighting techniques .. one in particular I feel gives quite a powerful, heroic look to the subjects being photographed. There’s still quite a bit of work I think needed to perfect the look I’m after, but again, the photograph attached will give you a feel for where I’m heading.

I would have chosen a better backdrop for the guys but today was quite a bright sunny day and I was already at the highest sync speed for the flashes to darken down the ambient light … plus this was the only shaded area available for the short time we had.
