Happy Easter

If there's anything cuter than an Easter Chick it's a small child wearing a hat with Easter chicks on it!

This was tricky to photograph. Mainly because the model was being uncooperative. With his third birthday fast approaching he was acting his age. In between the tears and tantrums (to be fair it was nearly bedtime) I shot 4 frames. One frame was the end of a tantrum, one frame was a blinker, the other two were usable. Who was it who said 'never work with kids and animals?'

Set up was easy enough:
1 SB900 bouncing off a white tri grip with a half cut CTO to warm up the face.
1 SB900 on a boom through an ezybox softbox directly above the hat.
1 SU 800 on camera to fire the flashes.
1 D3 with a custom WB to account for the warm gel (not too warm please!)
1 105mm lens as sharp as ever.
1 very cold beer afterwards to help maintain sanity.

Shot at my studio in Bristol.

Have a lovely Easter weekend, see you on the other side.
