Lenny Henry in 10 minutes

June 29, 2008

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.

The basic setup

 

My custom made speedlight holder that can hold up to 3  flashes

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.
