Yes, I am probably the only photographer who wants to do off camera lighting that doesn’t have the PWs, LOL.  Well, I finally rented some PWs and am thoroughly happy with its performance and I can see why so many photographers swear by them.

Here are some pictures of the shoot with aspiring model Steven.  Steven contacted me regarding getting some portfolio pictures and was a great sport for waking up so early to get ready and do the shoot at seven in the morning.  Steven was laid back, probably because he was still tired and wondering why he agreed to wake up so early and was very patient as the wind kept on blowing over my strobe. My intention was for a beautiful sunrise and a sunny partly cloudy day, but I ended up with a windy cloudy overcast.  We made the most of it and I was actually happy with how the pictures came out.  I thank you Steven for having such a great attitude that early in the day and for catching my light stand every time the wind blew over.  Note to self – invest in sandbags.

Well enjoy and take care everyone.
