Cassie originally uploaded by foolscircle.

This was a more traditional portrait I shot of Cassie during the outdoor portrait sequence. Because of the intense sunlight, I used a flash on an arm bracket to reduce the shadows’ intensity, which in this case wasn’t enough to achieve the look I wanted.

Because I’m a one man operation, I tend to carry a bunch of portable equipment in my photo backpack. One of the biggest aids one can have in an outdoor photo shoot is a collapsible reflector, I’ve got a 22″ one that travels really well. I had one of the groomsmen hold the reflector just outside of the camera frame, and the difference it made was stunning.
