I had flown to Tassie to shoot the Tasmanian Premier and had a few hours to spare after before my flight home. After a leisurely drive up Mt Wellington to experience and arctic blast and snow, I headed to the airport and while enjoying driveway service in Cambridge I noticed a medieval knight walking across the road. I drove over and had a chat and discovered a whole world of medieval enthusiasts.
UK comedian Lenny Henry was in Melbourne for a gig on TV and a Queensland Magazine commissioned me for an article supporting his show. I shot him on a Sunday, he was with me for all of 10 minutes in my setup in the closed bar of the hotel.
I used my trusty SB800 flashes and transformed the hotel’s bar to in to my temporary studio.
This is my custom made bracket that can mount up to 3 speedlights to shoot through softboxes. This is especially useful when using Nikon’s high speed flash syncing outside.
