~ Greta 1 ~

I would like you all to meet the newest woman in my life. Her name is Greta and she will be working with me while I learn the effects of different lighting techniques used for portraits.

 

Awhile back I developed an interest in Off Camera Flash and decided to pursue it to see how much I might enjoy broadening my horizons. To that end, I took a class in off camera flash using strictly strobe lighting, which from my standpoint means multiple flash guns behind umbrella's, soft boxes, reflectors and other light modifiers.

 

I enjoyed that class so much that I am now in the middle of a 4 week course in studio lighting with the emphasis on various lighting techniques using a variety of equipment.

 

I got Greta so I could practice these various techniques in the comforts of home. The nicest thing about Greta is she doesn't talk back.... =)

 

I will be posting a few different images of her as time passes. I hope you enjoy them, and if you don't just skip me - you can't hurt my feelings. Not much anyway.... =)

 

Needs to be viewed LARGE or ORIGINAL if you have time... thanks....
