2.13 - "Needs Work" 

This was a photo set I did for a family. I captured photos of the mother and father by themselves, the kids by them selves and group shot together. They wanted a photo of their kids but to also show off their new kitchen they just remodeled to send off to friends and families. The image was shot with three Jinbei speedlights bare round heads. One was pointed to the wall camera left as a bounce for the background and as a hair light full power. Another was shot between 7-8 oclock pointed off set from the camera into another wall this was around 7.5 out of 9. As i wanted the direction of light to come from one direction. Lastly I had a third light on camera to trigger the other lights bounced into the ceiling behind me to take away any harsh shadows on the face and to add a highlight to the tops of all the chairs to mimic lights from the ceiling and to keep the space feeling open. That last light was shot 8 out of 10 as the ceiling was pretty far away from me. I used a nikon z6ii with a 50 1.8 shot at F2.2 iso 125.

Photoshop slight color correction, curves for pop and that was all.
