Meet Noah — friend, humorist, and second counterpart from my previously-posted shoot with Emily Young. Shortly moving to Los Angeles himself, armed with his eligibility to join the Screen Actors Guild, Noah was in need of some studio shots for Hollywood headhunters. We, along with Emily, had a great time, shot some great images, and came away better (if not slightly-more-twisted) people in the end. More photos after the jump ยป
Q: What flash would you recommend for my new Canon Rebel? I have always made these crazy wax paper deflectors/reflectors which work with my old point and shoot camera (and would with this camera, too), but since I can now mount a flash on this camera I’d like to:) Jump to quick answer.
A: Well, there are a variety of options when it comes to external flashes. First off, you can go with one that’s completely manual or one that is TTL/e-TTL capable (translated as “through the lens,” meaning that the flash automatically calculates the light needed for the scene and adjusts the output without you having to fiddle with settings).
Beyond that, you can choose by band/manufacturer. Canon has some really great speedlights out there, such as the 480EX II and the 580EX II However, these can be rather expensive options (especially the 580EX) for the budding or budget-conscious photographer. In this case, there are a variety of third-party options from which to choose.
This is in no way directed towards any of my clients or meant to discourage you from interacting or expressing yourself while on a shoot. You guys are great! This is more for the benefit of my fellow photographers in need of a little chuckle at the truth contained therein, even if a bit stretched (eh, maybe) in this application.
A while back I had the privilege of shooting Emily (in a completely non-violent manner, for you members of law enforcement who lurk about my blog). She’s soon moving to Los Angeles with hopes of breaking into the film industry, in one capacity or another, and was in need of some quality studio shots for the proverbial headhunters. We had an amazing time! I just wish I could work with people as humorous and enlightening as her and Noah (another LA-bound client who shot at the same session) more often…
This is missionary and educator Leroy Adams, whom I had the privilege of photographing, along with his wife, at their home just the other weekend. We had a great time with them and were really happy with the results.
Be sure to check out the video of the shoot! This is also a case where I broke out my DIY Super Clamp, featured today at DIYPhotography.net, due to space restrictions. So, see it in action at about the 2:16 mark!
And, a huge thanks to my brother, Caleb Mowery, for all of his help on this particular project!

It was my privilege to conduct an in-home shoot with a great, older couple this weekend. Working in a confined space can present its challenges, but that doesn’t mean you can’t capture some amazing images. Plus, see my DIY super clamp in action!
