image shots for the website. I had a mixture of varying focal lengths, lighting, and ideas for this photoshoot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day was very overcast and we had a few spots of rain. If you look at the shot with the Big Wheel in the background, you&#8217;ll see the real ambient light. It was dark and gloomy. If you look at the last photo in these examples, you&#8217;ll see the rain in the shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To brighten up the scene, even in the rain, I used my lighting to create a more feel-good mood for the scene. Even with a small reflector dish, and a single diffused small softbox, you can create some really soft light to balance the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a <a href=\"https:\/\/simonday.com\/portrait-photography.html\">Portrait Photographer<\/a> please look at my work and contact me if you would like to have your own <a href=\"https:\/\/simonday.com\/portrait-photography.html\">portrait photography<\/a> session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Portrait Photography Talk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My gear for this photoshoot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sony A7IV<\/li><li>Sony 70-200mm f2.8 GM<\/li><li>Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM<\/li><li>Godox AD200<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A local counselor needed some photos for his website.
