It was my last engagement session in Portland before I move down to San Antonio Texas. Supposed to rain today but we had some break here and there. Most of photos were just available light. With overcast weather , I decide to make whole background turn blue by changing white balance setting to “Tungsten”. Quick 40 min session with Ilana & KC and there wasn’t hardly anyone out there even though it was Sat afternoon.
E-session at the downtown portland waterfront area. Originally thought about hard fashion kind of look. Then decide to use softer light (video light). We brought Alienbee 1600 along with Vegabond power pack. Modeling light is great balancing night seen with subject. It doesn’t look like flash and I think it looks more flattering. Only modifier I used was a beauty dish. It’s great in Oregon. Vegabond can be used as a expensive sand bag. I am impressed with 5D Mark II. I don’t see much of noise (I shot ISO at 2000). Weather was perfect and hope we have weathers like this rest of the year.

Here are some of the engagement photos I shots last week. Sun provided warm color and they both looked very natural.

Cloud looked nice and I wanted to create some dramatic look. Alienbee 1600 powered by Vegabond II. Only light modifier I used was a beauty dish (I gaffer taped 1/2 CTO inside).
The place we usually do engagement session is Portland downtown waterfront. It gets kind if crowded during weekend. There’s 2~3 other photographers shooting weddings and seniors. We brought Alienbee 1600 and Vegabond to overpower the harsh Sun and lighting was pretty much concentrated to subject face ~ torso to create more dramatic look using grid. Here’s some of the final
