Based out of Nashville, TN and Edmonton, AB, Little Icons captures unique, honest + timeless portraits of children.

So, here we go again. Good luck to all the 52/52 group. I'd consider myself to be a beginner on lighting so am going to take some of this 52/52 challenge to improve my skills (hopefully). Here is the first. 90cm Octabox from above at 45 degree angle, Nikon SB910 at 1/8th power. Second flash (Bare Nikon SB800 behind subject facing the wall at 1/16th power). Circular reflector underneath subject to lift shadows and to increase separation of chin from neck. Best to view on black background…

Only my second attempt at off flash with a background. Taken unsurprisingly with a flash to left of camera. Used a SB 600 bounced into an umbrella.
