It is that time of year for my families annual family photo at the beach. we based what we will wear on what most of us had in our closets–white shirts and blue jeans.
Now the ideal direction for the family to face for the lighting would have been 90º to their right. Couple problems with this choice. The background was busy with all the people on the beach and second the wind would be at their backs and blowing everyone's hair to the front.

Here is the setup and my daughter video taping the event for her YouTube channel.

Here without the strobes firing you can see the strong shadows.
By just adding the strobes it really cleaned up the photo with the light on our faces.

Here I am with my two sisters and parents.
My recommendation is to be sure and use strobes when doing portraits on the beach. This helps clean up those harsh shadows.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
