The camera settings I used with my flash varied a little bit in the beginning but for the most part, I settled on shooting at 1/1250 sec at f/1.6, ISO 160 with my flash set at 1/16th power. It was just enough to give our model good light on her face and arms and not have flat photos!

To make the shot I used my Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 portrait lens. This is the perfect lens to get your subject in focus while still create those gorgeous soft backgrounds. The majority of these shots were shot at 1/250 sec at f 1.8, ISO 160. I usually shoot pretty fast to avoid the subject from blurring, I kept my F-stop at 1.8 because I really wanted to focus on my subject and isolate her from the busy and colorful backgrounds.

What camera do you shoot with? Oh, tale, err, question, as old as time! I get this question quite often. Well, I decided to share what my current tools for the trade are! Now, I do want to say that we are so lucky to live in such a cool technologically advance time. We don’t have to develop rolls of film in a darkroom anymore. We are not limited to however many shots are included in those rolls. And most any camera you can get today will be awesome. Here’s is my current setup, if you must know 😛
