I’m one of the photographers in Edmonton that enjoys using strobes. I shoot a lot of weddings, but most wedding days are too fast to set up an elaborate lighting environment, so I mostly use strobes while capturing engagement photography. This photo shows the introduction of my newly constructed snoot. I built the snoot with commercial photography in mind, but it was so fast and efficient to use my strobes on this shoot that I may be able to include a few quick lighting setups during a wedding day.

New light modifier test for engagement photography

Thank you Ashley and Kevin, for helping me develop this look and braving the mosquitoes.

Some of the best fun in photography is developing new techniques that can enhance the creative vision. I enjoy using light modifiers and mixing natural light with strobes or Speedlights. I found a great little tip on how to make a grid that fits in a snoot for a flash. Once I saw it I had to do this!

I will post the results once I get this baby in the field. :^)
