more balanced flash

[@imagesBV]

I took the opportunity to try some more balanced ambient and flash ...I'd welcome any comments.
I'm hoping to use this technique at a wedding shoot on next Saturday....if I get the opportunity.

Re: more balanced flash

The 1st, 3rd & 5th image are well done. Nice separation between the background and the subject. For the 2nd & 4th image you need a flash behind the subject to create a slight rim light so you can separate her dark hair from the background. Other than that, well done Brian

Re: more balanced flash

Seems we have an expert on our hands here . I agree with Tom's comments re using a second flash. Aside from that Brian, nailed it sir!

Great set, Brian. 3rd and 5th are best for me; I think their backgrounds work particularly well with the lighting on the model.
