Norwich Kansas, Part II
0I recently had a chance to head back to Norwich Kansas to visit family. This is part 2. Part one was titled Welcome to Paradise, which many people saw in the previous version of this site. You can check those out on the travel photos section of the site. I went up there with only one expectation: introducing my fiancée to my family in that area.
I had no idea, until we arrived, that I would be photographing classic cars, a windfarm, and family. As always, I keep my descriptions brief. enjoy.

The Black Dragon
I was recently asked to shoot a friend/mentor/colleague, Greg (aka The Black Dragon). I welcomed the opportunity to exercise my new outdoor portrait style. This particular shoot presented a couple of challenges. Until recently I was intimidated by overcast weather when shooting outdoors. I came to realize that it can add a nice dynamic feel to outdoor shooting.
The other challenges in this shoot came down to skin. First off, it was unfortunately warm that day. The weather had been room temperature for weeks, until this day. It wasn’t outlandishly hot, but it was hot enough to sweat. I tried to tone down the shiny aspects. The last challenge was shooting a dark skin tone. Without proper lighting, darker skin tone features will get lost. Having a strobe and softbox easily solved this problem.
