Graffiti Shoot – Illawarra Fashion Photographer – Wollongong

Headed out to shoot some graffiti shots to test some off camera flash. Use two canon speed light 580EX2’s with my trusty manfrotto tripod. Just about a 10  minute hike from Figtree Westfield, this location was amazing! graffiti everywhere kilometers long! As I am getting into more and more off camera flash as opposed to the more durable natural lighting, I am loving the lack of editing required for such easy lighting set ups. My great friend Steve Broadbent showed me an image with a motorcycle and it’s owner.. I said wow! how long did that take you to photo shop? ..He said I hardly touched it. I was amazed. So here I am, incorporating off camera flash into my wedding photography more and more. The entire sequence of shots are very similar but I do love the entire concept. I thought maybe the blue track pants blended too much in with graffiti wall but it still jumps out at me. Bree (model) was a past cheerleader and dancer making it easy to work with her, she was open to ideas and any silly poses I had in mind.. and here it is: First shot, I was going for simple, but so much attitude in this shot it’s hard to miss lol

Use two light stands, main/key light on Manual 1/1 and the fill on 1/8 with a diffuser on the key.
