Fairfield University Graduates

My second year photographing Fairfield University Graduates was another success. I used my Godox 200 flash units for fill and shot with a canon 5d mark4. I would have used my Octobox but couldn’t use it because of 25 mph winds.

With the flash fill.

I took the ladies out far enough so I could get a lot of the building in. This makes it more recognizable to them seeing where they actually are. With a long lens, we were pretty far away.

But the results are pretty good. I like this rather than a close up of a door in the background.

Flash stands are tough to keep steady on undulating ground.

My 85mm 1.8 canon lens has such gorgeous bokeh.

Fairfield University Graduates

Yesterday I photographed the next generation of talented young ladies. After meeting at the front of Fairfield University campus, we travelled to a few locations that will remind them of their journey through college. Even the Seagrape was picked for our exotic photoshoot. I remember going to The Seagrape when I played summer league baseball with Byron AC. After games we would usually celebrate our games their. Good luck ladies!!

All these images were photographed with the Godox Travel system and I used a trigger on top of the camera to fire the flash. Inside at The Sea grape I used a back light to separate the subjects from the background. It really is an ideal setup for a photographer.
