My pleasure Rodger.


I'm looking forward to see the next version of that shot.


It's funny talking about the window light and strobes. When I first started shooting way back when, most of my favorite shots were natural light. Anton Cobjin was my hero loved the stuff he shot of U2 for the Joshua Tree. So everything I shot, I was trying to emulate that. Years later I get back into photography, working with with studio photographers (they were obsessed with f/8 and ISO100) and all the fancy strobes I became obsessed with them. Now, I no longer would depend on the sun I'll make my own. All my shots started looking synthetic and it was everything my photographic instinct wasn't. Along the way I became so obsessed with the strobes, I kind of forgot what natural light looked like and that essentially you want your strobes to match natural light as much as possible.


I have been hell bent on trying to make my strobes match natural light (as much as possible) and now I finding my strobe shots are flat.


So I'm trying to retrain myself, leaving the strobes in the case and working with natural light. Then I'll ad a strobe here and there and try and find that balance.
