Photo of the Week #178

I really like, no, LOVE the light in this photo taken at a family portrait session on the beach in the Hamptons on Saturday. The proud father and giddy son are perfectly sandwiched between the soft, white light of my octabox and the warm, sunset light skimming off the sand. Together with the crashing waves and a beach that seemingly extends forever into the distance, there’s no question that this is my Photo of the Week.

Photo tech specs: Canon 5D Mark III camera, 24-70mm f2.8 II lens @ 24mm, f6.3, 1/200th, ISO 100, lit with Einstein 640 strobe in 35″ octabox.
