Here is the original white balance sooc. Hotel lobby lights are a pain!

Thank you! I know. this bugged me too. I will post the SOOC shot when I got home. Even in post, I could not get the right "feel" for the WB.

I'm a 5 foot deep Octa kind of guy ;-) For most of the night, the lighting was pretty straight forward bounced up and through white curtains. Lights did not move for 90% of the time. One of my ...

Thank you! It was a challenge trying to direct about 100 people vs. 2-3 models. :-)

Thank you for the kind words! -doni

Hi All! Haven't posted in a while and work has gotten in the way of art recently. I had the chance to photograph an event - 18th birthday party. It's been a good while since I did events (parties, ...

Thank you! If these work as well as their photography gear counterpart, I am really hopeful that the light is well balanced and good. Have you seen a noticeable fan noise though? Do boom mics pick ...

Thanks for the very informative and detailed response! Agreed! This is exactly my expected use. For majority of projects, renting will still be the solution, but smaller projects (mini-docs + web ...

Good Day! Debated posting this in studio lighting vs. here, but it seemed more appropriate here due to the nature of its use - video. I am tired of renting even for smaller projects, and I am ...

Placed 11^th in the challenge. My Two loves - My bike and my wife. I have taken the bike to multiple tracks from the legendary Mazda Raceway in Laguna Seca to local tracks like Streets of Willow Springs.

Some things to consider: 1. Too much hot spots. 2. Missed focus (specially the last one) 3. Lighting is far to harsh 4. WB seems off. Too warm? 5. Looks oversaturated Hope this helps! -d

I like everything about this - color, light, mood, pose, and PP! -d

It's not popular here - as you can see in the comments - as it is not the traditional headshot portrait. I have to admit that for my bread and butter work, 105-135mm is still my preferred focal ...

I like the photo and love that camera. You look very different from your profile picture too! -d

Thank you and good points. This was my challenge as well. If I show more of LA, then I get people in the shot. This makes it "messy" in different ways: (1) it will look like those tourist shots ...

Thank you! -doni

The feedback was great! She liked the photos :-D The theme wasn't the "Touristy" locations. The over arching theme was "Paris in LA" - hence the locations. It just so happened that the chosen ...

This was a first for me. The commission was to do some posed shots for social media (pretty common). The challenge/twist was to do it in some of the most touristy sites in Los Angeles. Locations: 1 ...
