- Absolutely stunning! Marvelous work as always Pham! I am loving this shot though, so unique! - Amber Hoadley
- AB1600 with Beautydish with grid
- backlighting was 580 EXII gelled Bare @1/2 power triggered by cactus V4's
- That red gel backlight makes it look like sunset rimlight. Perfect. - Kris Grimes
Aurielle ~ 4 Seasons ~ The Splendor of Fall
Well i have finished my Fall shot...
it has been a long long time coming to finish the series..
i just have be crazy busy this Fall and have not had time to do anything for my self..
But with Aurielle's engagement shoot lead to us working again gave us an opportunity to do this shot...
hopefully this fulfills the expectations of what the 4 Seasons Fall shot should be..
i wanted some thing Beautiful, Something Strobist Style, with the Phamster Twists..
lighting was pretty simple..
Key Light was an AB1600 with Beauty dish with a grid
back lighting was a Simple Speedlight with an orange red Gel @ 1/2 power about 8 feet up and pointing down about 8 feet away.
Aurielle's mother was pushing the branches inward about 10 feet away to fill in the frame just so.. Thanks Beth !
An Thanks to Aurielle for doing this shoot with me because it was basically pitch black in the woods, and about 40 degrees.. what a trooper !

I saw it in the strobist pool and had to click on it. Great shot. Then I saw, "...with the Phamster Twists..." and realized why I liked it. You do great work--I always seem to click on your images.

The gels work great. Did you use one front fill because it's a tad yellow. Maybe just a 5800k adjustment :D
Will Manning (19 months ago | reply)

As usual, another great phamster quality photo. What technique do you use to get her hair to fly in the wind. Was there that much wind during the shoot? If she is moving her head to swing her hair out, it is remarkable that she seems to be perfectly in focus at 1/80 of a sec.
