We use our remote flashes to tell stories about our subjects, and in this case, I was again inspired by the flash inside the frame to post another one of Sol Tamargo's image sets. This post is about using the off camera flash more dynamically when that flash is located directly across from the field of view of your lens. Sol had her eyes on these children the entire time as they played with their toys all night long. I credit her for pursuing a strong photojournalism moment and then going one step further by telling a story with the light. These little guys were playing just as Sol was sneaking around the corner to get the shot. The first shot, you can see the little girl is shooting the little boy, BANG, your dead. I like her choice to light them with the off camera strobe included inside the frame, powered at 1/4 power. She also added some bounce fill from her on-camera 580 to give us facial expressions. We see the flash burst in the frame, accentuated by the BANG of the little girl's gun, pretty much like POP BANG, in your face, your dead. What amazes me is that Sol had the wherewithal to watch this scene unfold and anticipate this little girl's escape from the crime scene. By placing the flash behind the boy's head and putting emphasis on the shadow on the wall showcases the movement and the quickness of the great escape! My jaw drops with her execution of this scene! Way to go Sol... thanks for the inspiration! AND, if you haven't had a chance to hit her BLOG recently, you may want to RSS feed that baby. She has some pretty motivating content. Comments? Thoughts?
