Portraits of wife and kid, softbox
Lens: 18-55 WR 
Posted By: the swede, 02-27-2011, 02:17 AM

These were all taking with a AF 540 inside an Westcott Apollo 28" softbox. The light is a litle blended with incoming daylight from a window.

Thanks for looking!





A litle crazy looking

Thank you!

The flash is controlled by radio triggers (Cactus V5) from the camera.

The softbox is a Westcott Apollo 28", info here:

Those are great! Lovely skin tones. #1 is probably my favorite because of the dynamic pose.

What a great series.
I really like how well thought the same colouring of the clothes is in the last shot.
I only don't understand why you've put one b&w picture in the series. The shot is sweet, but it falls a bit out of the series if you know what I mean.

Thanks! I know, the b&w doesnt quite belong to the series, or it should have been in colour at least But its there now
