How I Shoot A Strobist Portrait

Ever wondered how I get that classic Rick Nunn strobist look? I loaded up my bag with my favourite Canon, Manfrotto & Westcott gear. Grabbed a Spadgerina & headed off in to the woods to show you how!

I also picked up some Atmosphere Aerosol which they call “Haze for Photographers & Filmmakers”. It was a bit windy to really get a good feel for it, but it looks very promising! Looking forward to trying it when it’s less windy, or on an indoor shoot.
