Gavin Hoey over at Adorama TV is shooting portraits with an Olympus OMD E-M5 Mark II and an Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro lens on an overcast day.
While overcast weather creates the perfect ambient light for portraits, Gavin will give you several examples of how using a Glow 32″ Circular Collapsible Disc Reflector will balance the shadows on the subjects face. You’ll also see how the images change dramatically when he brings out just a single off-camera flash (Flashpoint StreakLight 360 Ws Creative Collection, Flashpoint 9′ AutoStand, Glow ParaPop 38″” Portable Softbox, Sekonic L-308S Flashmate). He is also giving you great tips on how to adjust your aperture to better bring out the subject, as well as how you can use post processing to enhance the dramatic elements of the image even more.
