2023 – Wedding
We travelled to the Art Gallery of Alberta in Edmonton on my client’s wedding day. As we walked up the stairs, I noticed the glass railing reflected the stairs and created unique lines and angles. My clients were waiting further down the staircase, enjoying a tender moment together. I quickly asked my assistant to use a modified off-camera flash to light them. I carefully positioned my clients in a dark area of the railing reflection while balancing the exposure of the off-camera flash with the natural sunlight hitting the stairs in the reflection.
