Here is one from a shoot at Kirby Hall on Saturday

Shot with a Canon 1Ds2 and a 70-200 f2.8Lis. Edited in Lightroom and Colour Effex pro.

I like the composition. The ladies are almost incidental to the fantastic windows, but draw the eye. Love it

I've been in that room, without the ladies. I assume you were using a reflector to ligth this side, as the light coming in can be quite strong through the bay?

Thanks Phil. I was lying on the floor in the opposite doorway about 30ft away. I used a 580ex2 flash gun mounted on the hotshoe of the camera and bounced off of the ceiling to balance the light. A high shutter speed was used to keep the outside exposure within range, the flash lit the rest.

if you ever need a make-up artist , give me a shout !

Blackandwhite: I'm a wedding photographer based in Herefordshire planning a big project next year and will need a couple of MUA's.

Where are you based and would you be interested?

Scuff: love the angle and well done on balancing the ambient & flash light. Ladies faces are a little dark, could you have used a second flash off-camera zoomed in to illuminate the ladies only?

Great work as always
