The camera goes with me almost everywhere. Sometimes, people ask me to take their picture. I try to take more than one snapshot, because the first one is usually less than spectacular.
.
On one occasion, I tried setting up a space like a traveling portrait studio. I marked an "x" on the floor, and put flashes on light stands. I was happy with this makeshift studio, because I had one strong light source, some fill-in, and no shadow on the wall behind the subjects..
This couple on the left was special. They gave me the opportunity to try one thing after another for a total of about twenty minutes. In post-editing, I selected three poses for the finished product. I called those "primary" and retouched blemishes from the wall in the background, but I wanted to do something more for added value....
So I made a collage of some of the "secondary" pictures. This collage is made to look like the strip you might get in a photo booth. I try to get the images where they were not ready, or blinking or clowning around. This photo strip idea has been received very well so far.
