Project LCF Episode 1: Explore Timberland

Photography by: Jian Alvarez
Model, MUA, & Stylist: Royce Salen
Location: Timberland Heights, San Mateo, Philippines

For the record, this is my first time to ever, ever, ever done a photo shoot using off-camera flash. Many thanks to David Hobby, and to other blogs/books which taught me all about lighting using strobes/flashes or whatever. Really, thank you.

Royce: Explore Timberland

Strobist Info: One 580EX II somewhere at 1/2 power positioned camera up-right on a shoot-through umbrella just two feet away from the subject, underexposed the ambient light at 250th (didn't know how it happened, but the 450D's max sync speed should be at 200th of a second only, aye?).

ISO: 100
Aperture: f/14.0
Exposure: 0.004 sec

Royce: Explore Timberland

Strobist Info: One 580EX II at full power positioned camera up-left on a shoot-through umbrella just two feet away from the subject, underexposed the ambient light at 250th.
