“The light outdoors can be unpredictable so I do my best to schedule my sessions around sunset.
“The light outdoors can be unpredictable so I do my best to schedule my sessions around sunset. Sometimes my couples have limited availability, so I use strobes to work around any situation and create my own light. That’s what happened here.
Though the canyon walls were darker for the shoot than when I had first spotted them, I just added two lights to the scene: one bare Godox #AD200Pro as my main light, set up just outside the canyon wall and at camera left, and one #V1, positioned by my feet on a short pole, pointing up the canyon walls to open up the shadows. The result was a very unusual perspective, accentuating the rich colors of that scene.” - Photo credit: Cami Zi Photography
