Hotel room (Patreon)

A hotel room, a beautiful model and no other option than using a small off camera flash. What do you get? This incredible set of photos right here.

After Sara and I were done shooting in the streets of Prague we went to my hotel room. In my hotel room there were two huge windows which I really wanted to use to make beautiful soft light black and white photo's of Sara. Unfortunately due to some hold ups on Sara her journey to Prague we got there too late and it was already dark outside. So I had to improvise. Luckily I decided to take my small on camera flash with me and coincidentally packed my flash trigger as well. So I could now use my on camera flash as an off camera flash. With my right hand I was handling my camera whilst with my left hand I tried to point and aim the flash towards the right direction. This gave some cool shots, but then I found the bed was all white, so if I point my flash towards this big white canvas, it will reflect a softer light on Sara. As a combination of these two techniques these images came out and I am very pleased by them especially considering the circumstances.

I'd like to know what you think of these images. If you are a photographer, have you ever been in a situation where you were left to your creative mind and quickly had to come up with a solution? Share me your stories.
