Hi William: often it is “the bigger the better”, but at least the size of your main subject of possible. If not, then a softbox is still great, better than direct.

I uses Bowens strobes. The really cheap strobes are no good; but Bowens is excellent. Alienbees, many others also good.

Hi Michael, I was wondering what size softboxes you use for certain shots/situations.

P.S. I’ll try to rememner to bring some Vodka!

Hi Michael,

Just before you leave for the liquor store

What strobes are you using? What is a decent entry level strobe?

Thanks

Sam

Sam – I just look for a quiet place and shoot. If there’s anyone, I ask if they object to a nude shoot. Canadians are pretty easygoing typically. And if anyone cannot handle nudity, I’ll have that discussion with them at that time…

Hi Michael,

I really like your use of the out of doors for your nudes, like the “Red, Green and Blue” by the train tracks and “Rock Nude”. How do you determine when and where you can shoot out door nudes? Are you finding private property, do you have a “look out”, or are you taking calculated risks?

Thanks

Wouldn’t it be cheaper and better to rent one of those photo booths from the mall. You get 3 copies of each photo every time,

Unfortunately some people are just plan happy with crap photos, look with red buggy eyed photos pasted on facebook
The problem is this bride will want it all for next to nothing then complain and demand it for free and want to sue for ruining her day
These are the people you run away from as fast as you can
Let uncle Fred take the heat
