The subject is out of the picture to the middle left.
A young assistant held the sunshade over their head to shade the subject.
An older assistant held a 550EX in front of the reflector umbrella.
I wonder if the light from the sun was more than the flash.
The photographer's equipment seemed to be:- $1700 Canon EOS-1v,
- $1700 Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 USM IS lens with hood,
- Gitzo monopod,
- camera-mounted 550EX master flash with flipdown diffuser,
- hand-held 550EX slave flash,
- white reflector umbrella,
- small light stand with flash bracket,
- cloth-on-frame square sun shade,
There may have been a light meter but I didn't notice it being used |
