Here's the razor sharp result of yesterday's BTS lighting setup. Shot wide open on the new @tamronusa 85mm f/1.8 prime lens. And yes... Her eyes are really that blue! The high key background, vibrant eyes and extremely shallow depth of field all combine to make them pop even more. I'll post a close up shot tomorrow so check back! (Nikon D810 - 1/500 sec at f/1.8, ISO 200) #photoshoot #model #blueyes #diamonds #brunette #jetblackhair #portrait #highkey #beauty #headshot #portraiture #withmytamron #85mm #primetime #tacksharp #wideopen #fastglass #portraitpage #portraits_ig #portraitsmag #iso1200 #wppi2016 #photographer #erikvalind #instagood #vscocam #vsco #vscoportrait #alienskinexposurex #alienskin (at New York, New York)

A Behind the Scenes look at our lighting setup at the @tamronusa booth from the @rfwppi expo floor. This was my first time shooting with the recently announced 85mm f/1.8 lens and that thing is SHARP! The folks at Tamron had to make sure I didn't "accidentally" walk off it with it after my lighting demos ;) so I made sure to preorder my copy after that. Result photo coming soon! #photoshoot #bts #beautylight #stripboxes #eyelighter #highkey #female #model #portrait #westcott #td6 #constantlight #flashmatters #portraiture #photographer #erikvalind #withmytamron #85mm #primetime #fastglass #sharp #wppi2016 (at WPPI Photography Trade Show - Mgm Grand)

A look Behind the Scenes at yesterday's colorful beauty portrait of our model Amanda from the WPPI lighting demos I did out in Las Vegas. It's incredible how many varied looks we pulled off in such a small space. We used 3 @broncolor Siros strobes for this setup and controlled them all wirelessly from the iPad you see in the photo. This made life incredibly efficient when lighting each image as I wasn't climbing around messing with the power on each flash. #efficiency #majorkey #bts #photoshoot #behindthescenes #setlife #smallspace #bigpicture #siros #flashmatters #broncolor #wppi2016 #famousbtsmag #makeportraits #lifestyle #portrait #photographer #erikvalind #model #tngmodels #lasvegas #beauty #para88 #parapower #iso1200 #canvasbackdrops #portraitpage #portraits_ig #portraitsmag (at WPPI Photography Trade Show - Mgm Grand)

So this happened last night... "Dancer in the Desert - Version 2016" There was so much explosive power on set, from the professional ballerinas to the Ferrari 458 Italia.
