Fables of the Green Forest
Set deep into the forest, this is where you loose yourself to nature... Last time I was in this area it was flooded, so I took advantage of the dry season and set up a shoot with Tricia.
If I were to opt for natural lighting the image would be flat, no nice highlights, reflectors too will not be much help as the light would be too diffused to reflect, the few instances the sun would penetrate the canopy, it would cast unsightly random patterns of leaves, so the only way I wanted to do this was the strobist way.
It was hard to move around the forest with expanded soft boxes and light stands, with all the branches sticking out, you had to move slow to avoid it being entangled or ripped.

Where have I seen this before? In your strobist workshop presentation! Still worth a second and third and fourth look!
