In this video I take you behind the scenes on a crazy photoshoot where I take long exposure portraits with off camera flash of my friend Darcie at Padley Gorge in the UK.
Epson SureLab SL-D500 Printer: www.epson.co.uk/en_GB/product...
All the photographs in this video were taken on my Sony A9II with my Sony 16-35mm f2.8 GM lens. I was able to create long exposure portraits by having my camera on a tripod whilst also using a variable ND filter.
To light the model, I used a Godox AD200 strobe in the MagBox Pro 24" Octa softbox.
A huge thank you to my friend and incredible model Darcie for modelling and to my partner Helen Williams for helping me to film and also lighting Darcie for me. This shoot was a real team effort and I could not have done this without them both!

    Great video as always. This printer is something I could be interested in as in between the Wedding Breakfast and before the start of the evening reception I sometimes photograph guests to pass the time. This would be super handy to plug in and print off these images for each guest.

    Thank you so much Paul! This printer would be absolutely ideal for that purpose. I am thinking of doing the same. It would be so nice for the couple to receive high quality prints of their day on the day itself - think of the brownie points we would get! 🤗
