Above shots were lit with an SB-900 via CLS through a white Photoflex 30″ umbrella to camera left. The flash was fired in TTL mode, but with a lot of negative compensation dialled in so it didn’t overwhelm the shot. It was all mounted on a small Cameron W-804 light stand that just barely fit into my suitcase. I can’t take my Alien Bees and huge light stands with me when I travel by air, but as you can see, the smaller solutions work out quite well.

On to the bathroom:

Precariously balancing on the edges of the tub as I’m wont to do, I lit these with the SB-900 on camera, paired with a Gary Fong Lightsphere Collapsible.

Dress was from Urban Planet in Toronto.

We shot these in my room at Hotel Indigo. I had a tough time deciding which hotel to stay at and shoot in, as Arc The Hotel also had a great deal on, but I was worried that the rooms might be too small. I’d stayed at both hotels before, but I knew the Indigo a bit better.

Above: Adriana wears the most ridiculous yellow pants that I blogged about last year. SB-900 bounced off the wall behind me as I was scrunched up on the bathroom counter.

Above: SB-900 bounced off the ceiling after we pushed aside some furniture to reveal the hardwood floor.

Above: Backlit by the window and sheer curtains, no additional light sources.
