Dreamy Wedding
Wanted to experiment with OCF lately, so I put together a shoot with some of my favourite vendors in the industry. This is the first time I shot with a dedicated lighting assistant and it was awesome :D

Taking A Closer Look
As we walk around whether in the neighborhood or on vacations our eyes are attracted to something and we choose to either ignore it or pick it up and carry it around before discarding.

Great job. Use a "light-person" on every job and it will rock your world! We have photographed hundreds and hundreds of weddings since the late 1980's with a "light-person" and it is how we create portrait-style lighting in virtually every image.
How does one find such an assistant? Is it a dedicated trade, or a second photographer you train in the art?
You call a photographer friend and ask them to be your assistant :)
Haha, thanks!
