Benji that's awesome. Thanks. Are you putting gels on them or are the colors done with PP? Sorry to sound so dumb


Not dumb at all...are you kidding? I would ask the exact same question and often have...so here goes...What a Dumb Question!!!

Just kidding of course. I used gels on the HMI's as well as the back ground flash heads on the colored paper backdrops. Really gives a 3 dimensional look to it.

Thanks for the tips, useful ideas for camera conscious folks who are not used to being photographed (and as primarily a wedding photographer I see that very often). I watched the BTS video, and my impression was "wow, I have no interest in this type of photography" (it feels so forced and artificial.. if I wanted a blue sky and grass, I'd go outside.. if I wanted the model to look Asian.. I'd get an Asian model, and so on)- but kudos to those who do it and are passionate about it. Some people really like the taste of sauerkraut, and others don't

Excellent stuff here.

May I add another one that I use?

I ask the models to tell me the 1st thing that comes to their mind after I say some words. I am not really looking for that word she is going to say, I am looking for the expression she makes when think about the word. So I say "your Dad (or insert person here) just gave you a Mercedez Benz" or for the contrary "your Dad just took your car away". You can imagine how her face would change.

Thanks for sharing Ben!

I really appreciate the tips, I think it is really difficult these days to find pros willing to share a bit of know how with those looking to progress.

After reading and trying to catch on to this craziness I must make my first post. Thank you. Thank you again. You don't know how much just a little info helps. You just gave me confidence to do something I have been so hesitant to do, so afraid I would go blank. And now I've made my first post!
