I posted a while back about my opportunity to teach a portrait class at the US's number one private japanese garden. Class ended about 4 hours ago and I decided to edit the few shots I took since I was the instructor. Being the instructor meant I missed out on like a million photo opportunities but these are about 1/4 of what I shot throughout the day.
***************UPDATE*****************
I've shown a few samples of the images I was able to snap off while instructing, but I also had my friend come by and tape the shoot. I'm sorry for the quality and the even more sorry about the audio as the garden is filled with water features and water falls so the ambient sound is picked up by the mic more-so than my own voice. I edited the first two hours of the video down to 30 minutes and broke it down farther to 4 parts so I can upload them on YouTube. I'm making this series available to the masses and in there buried are great examples and live demo of reflectors and flash used on location.
Let me know what you think and I hope everyone here enjoys this!
*Only the first two clips are up and I'll add in the other links as they slowly upload*
