One more from my session for this week

"Mother and Son"

I just instructed her to give him a kiss to get his reaction on film. Worked perfectly.

I set up for this shot similar to a multi-flash system for hummingbirds. I used 2 Einstein monolights with soft boxes about 45 degrees to the left and right and about 6 feet from the branch. The lights were set in action mode and at -5.5f which creates a very short flash duration which has the effect of freezing motion and it also lets the background be very dark.

"Cardinal in the Dark"
