Kelsey on Location with a Pre-Raphaelite mood

Steven Perdikis

A  few weeks ago, I caved and added some additional gear to my photographic kit. Since learning about off camera flash a few months ago, I’ve become highly enamoured with using off camera lighting, and in particular, doing this in location.

I’ve added a Godox AD200 to my collection, and yesterday was the first time I employed it in the real world. I used it in conjunction with a beauty dish.

I’m pretty happy with the results.

This series of images was shot in Adelaide, South Australia in a public park called Thorndon Reserve. It’s got a lake, a waterfall, a reservoir tower, and a few other amusements like barbeques, play equipment, and wide open spaces for outdoor activities.

It also had myself and Kelsey Burgers yesterday. The vision for this series of images was to be dark, moody, and with a Pre-Raphaelite painting vibe, a throwback to the first shoot Kelsey and I did together. I set myself the challenge of using one light, (the new one!) and one lens. All these images were shot on a Nikon 105 F2 Defocus Control lens.

Here are the results:
