Home Shoot with Elinchrom Deep Umbrella
January 8, 2019
Setting up a makeshift ‘studio’ when visiting clients can be problematic. You never know how much space you’re going to get, what the ambient light will be or how much gear you should take to cover all eventualities. For portrait shoots I think I have settled on the ideal combination
One Tree, Four Seasons
October 30, 2018

End of the Affair
