Saturday morning we were scheduled to do a maternity photoshoot at a park next to the couple's home. It was a great time as winter time in South Africa is blessed with clear skies and warm (ish) mornings. The only problem that I envisioned was whether my SIGMA optical triggered flash unit would work in the harsh African sun... And I was pleasantly dissapointed (although relieved to know) as it didn't work. Nevertheless, the scenery got us to play with different shots techniques and allowed the couples to feel really comfortable in front of the camera.
I must say, the one advantage a photographer has in shooting outside, especially in the park or around trees and flowers, is that it's so much easier to relax the subject and get natural tones (with the proper white balance and light diffusion). I put my 5-in reflector in good use especially through blocking out those harsh rays coming through the leaves. So I've decided to share some of my favourites pics taken on that day. Enjoy!
