NAIT - Photographic Technology Shadow Week

I had the pleasure of being shadowed by Amber Dowson, a  soon to be grad from the NAIT Photographic Program. We got to spend some time together from April 11-15 and talk "photo stuff" for the entire time :)

Amber was really interested in off-camera flash techniques. Since I LOVE off-camera flash, we got along perfectly! Although Amber is cute as a button she was really eager to learn and absorbed all my tricks very quickly. She asked lots of questions and I am sure learned lots. We finished our week with a shoot in the downtown core. One of Ambers friends, Kayla, modelled for us to help Amber put her new skill to practice. I have to say, she did VERY well! I'd like to wish you all the best, Amber. 

Here is what Amber had to say:

Well, I definitely learned a lot from the lovely Kinga today!!

I had a gorgeous model, Kayla Taylor, model for us while I practiced my developing photography skills.

Kinga and I used off-camera flash in outdoor and indoor settings; learning a various amount of poses as well.

To compensate for the colour cross-over in the photographs, we used a grey card and a couple CTO gels over the flashes.

I think that the outcomes that we processed are very beautiful and I would like to thank Kinga Dydra for the awesome knowledge on off-camera flash!! I know that I will surely be using the information I received today!
