This was the first shoot I've gotten to use a 580EX Flash with pocket wizards for off camera lighting. Let me know what you think!

    Beautiful series, the lighting is really good.

    Did you only use one 580EX with softbox? How big is the softbox?

    I have to say ditto...nice set. The blend of daylight and flash is very good.

    I agree, very nice work. Seems a 2x2 is a great size for that type of portraiture. Anything bigger needs a bigger box and a little more throw maybe?
