BY DAVID SHELLEY
This is a fabulous outdoor portrait, subtly balancing
daylight with David’s Godox AD200 studio flash
head in a softbox to gently light Charlie, his model.
Her clothing has been carefully chosen to match
the bluebells that surround her, and David used a
blue smoke grenade to enable him to capture the
beautiful sunrays streaming through the trees,
adding to the atmosphere of the shot.
Camera: Nikon D810
Lens: 15-30mm f/2.8
Exposure: 1/200 sec, f/10, ISO64- Can Can
BY DAVID BOAM
To capture the erratic and constant movement of
the dancer, David used a combination of continuous
and strobe lighting. When balanced properly and
using a correct exposure, the movement is
captured as a blur, which is frozen at durations
throughout the exposure with a blip of flash. He
tells us that the final image is a Photoshop
composite to add the fitting stage background.Camera: Nikon D750
Lens: 50mm f/1.8
Exposure: 1 sec, f/8, ISO100- Red Lady
BY STEVEN BARBER
This warm and beautifully processed portrait works
wonderfully well with the sultry background. It’s
clear that Steven picked this background to
enhance his clever choice of red lipstick, sunglasses
and the adorable ribbon. The soft vignette around
the edges of the frame helps to draw the viewer
in closer to the red lady of this delightfully
straightforward and classical photograph.Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6
Exposure: 1/125 sec, f/10, ISO2001
