A high ISO frame from my recent shoot with too pretty for words model Katie Lalonde. I usually use anywhere from 3 to 5 studio lights for much of my work. However, this summer I am absolutely loving the challenge of these natural light shoots!
I used no light modifiers on this shot and no artificial light, just a perfect exposure on a pedestrian bridge at a local park I love to shoot in around 7pm on a summer evening. In order to get a shake-free image handheld under this canopy of trees, I had to bump the ISO to 1600 for this shot. No worries, the Canon 5D Mark II has great high ISO performance and the image stabilization of the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS help as well. Some noise/grain is the price of high ISO but I don’t mind grain at all and the images look great in print!
If you or someone you know are looking for portraits in this style, feel free to contact me to set up a shoot. I can also be reached after 12pm (noon) at 519-562-8603 for bookings and consultation.
