Default Advice needed...
Hi guys,

So I'm sick of shooting flowers and want to get into photographing people. The photo below gives the flavor of what I want to do...sort of...but I wasn't sure how to light the situation so I relied on available light (sun going down). I want that sort of grungy look. I have two flashes to work with and will purchase a trigger soon. Does anyone know where I could find a good tutorial for this type of photograph?

Any advice is appreciated.

Catrice

I think that is isn't really a tutorial for getting good raw street shots.. you just have to get out there and get your hands dirty.. Practice, practice, practice.

True street Grit...
