I don't have any of the latest fancy equipment, no entourage, maybe an assistant when I can find one (which is pretty much, never...).
Even without all of the accoutrement, I'll have a go at any shoot idea, no matter how much of a stretch it might seem...
Except for a couple of high end lenses, (85/1.2L & 135/2L) I make do with a very early 20D, a 580EX, a 20yr old Quantaray flash and a buddy's 580 knock-off - neither of which are variable...
I have a couple of older Tamron lenses which after about f4 are as sharp as anything I've seen and a canon 50/1.8. I use a Cybersync sytem (transmitter and three receivers) and then I have a couple of marginal tripods for the strobes - which don't really get high enough in about half the shoots...
I have some decent Photoshop skills, but it's important to get the shot 'right' in the camera. If I have to rely on PS to rescue a shot, I consider it a personal failure...
Please don't take my images and use them to flog your stuff without asking me first. OK? Thanks.
