5 For Friday – Leslie @ Baguashan

Another week gone means it’s time for 5. Today’s 5 features Leslie, a young model from America that I worked with the other day. We went up to the ecological garden at Baguashan in Changhua and then moved over to the baseball field. This shoot was rescheduled 3 times due to wet weather so it was great to finally get together. We got some great images and had fun, which is how you want every shoot to go. So, without further ado, how are five photographs of Leslie at Baguashan.

Shooting Notes – These were all shot in more or less the same fashion. Camera was a Canon 5D Mark II with 70-200mm lens. Focal lengths varied over the course of the shoot. I alternated ISO between ISO 50 and 100, aperture was f4 and shutter speed was mostly 1/200. Leslie was lit with a 550ex speedlight fired into a shoot through umbrella that was positioned just out of frame to either the left or right, depending on the photo – if you look at the light and shadow you can tell where the light was coming from. Due to shooting outside on a bright day, the strobe was set at either full power or 1/2 power and triggered by Elinchrom Skyports.

  • Sorry for such a cliche comments but - the photos are amazing :)
    I'm agree with the comment above me - The first one takes the crown.
    Her expression, your "brave" composition - Awesome.
  • Thanks a lot Ilan.
  • Hey, I was going to say, I may be in the minority but I really like the first image. I like the composition or crop.
  • It's a mix of in-camera composition and post-processing crop. The placement of Leslie was done in camera, and some of the repeating steps were cropped a bit as there were a few too many rows.
  • Fantastic, I love that lens for these kinds of shots and by the way, great work with the strobe here. I really need to shoot with light more often, you have inspired me. I am so blasted lazy!
