Arrow 4 Girls Photoshoot for client with video of behind scenes!

Here is a quick shoot i did for a client. They casted 4 girls for me to shoot and they wanted them to give crazy looks downwards and towards the camera so I tried to get the girls to give me mean faces ( which wasn't hard ) and laugh and be silly I think i did alright.. PLUS we shot this video of all the work and the setup of the lights and the settings

Specs:
Camera: Canon 5d Mark II 2
Lens: Canon 85mm f/1.8 USM
Strobes / Lights: 2 x Alien Bee B800's, 1 x B1600, 1 silver reflector.

Nice work work with these.

I'm jealous of your lighting setup. Adding another strobe to my inventory would open things up so much more, I think. All in time, I suppose.

Just my 430EX II with a convertible 45" umbrella and some assorted reflectors. I have some lights I could use for continuous lighting, but they're either not bright enough or way warmer than my flash, making it nearly impossible to balance the two color temperatures.

Don't get me wrong. I've achieved some really great shots - well, at least in my opinion - with my setup so far. I'm going to add another strobe (probably the 580EX II) when my budget allows me to.

Yeah, I've heard about the Vivitar flashes. I've read a lot of people like them and a good number don't, so I'm kind of torn. I think one of my friends has this unit, so I'll see if I can bum it off of him for a few days to see how I like it.

I'm going to add you to my friends list on here if you don't mind. Keep me posted on the videos. I'd love to take a look at them.
