17 — Red

Fancied getting a little crazy tonight, wanted to get a big setup together for a shoot so I gathered some kit from a couple of friends (Thanks John & Adam) & setup under Lincoln’s cathedral. Ashley very kindly showed off one of her lesser known sides for me & modeld one of her sisters amazing dresses. To set work with the red dress I put 2 red gels on the outer back lights & left the center bare, love the drama. It actually didn’t turn out to be that tricky to balance all the lights, I started most of them on 1/16th power & adjusted each one slightly after a few test shots but it didn’t need a huge amount of tweaking. I guess that means I need to do a shot with even more lights…
