Our friend Sylvia wanted some photos of herself to use for an invitation. They were for her upcoming birthday invite to be hosted at Hartebeespoort Dam in May. I’m excited to do this portrait knowing we’ll be doing the birthday shoot at the Dam as well. So in order to get this going, we remembered from the previous party shoot,  where the lighting was necessary to make this work. Luckily for us, there were videographers who brought video lights and it helped us a lot too. So we thought, why use expensive photography lights, when we can use video lights which are a lot cheaper. Granted, it’s not as good, but for the price of R400.00 it was worth it. It came with a stand, what more do you need? Since these are “always-on” lights, it makes people hot and thus we can’t do it for too long. Our models, Sylvia and Marjoie, wondered how the professional models pose for photos day after day. Tough job they reckon. I agree.
