At Photoshop World I had the pleasure of spending 6 hours on pre-con day with internationally acclaimed wedding photographer, David Ziser for his Wedding Photo Shoot Pre-conference class. The class was amazing for several reasons, but most importantly, it was great to see David Ziser in his element. David shot all of his wedding shots just like he does when he is at home in OH / KY. And contrary to popular belief beautiful images are possible with one Canon 580 EX II and one Quantum T5d-R. Check out David’s lighting solution:
- Quantum T5d-R off camera on monopod
- FreeXwire FW7Q
- Turbo 2×2 pack (recommended)
- FreeXWire FW9T
- Turbo SC battery pack
- CZ flash power cable
- Hot shoe mounted Canon 580 EX II
For more information on these lighting supplies, visit Quantum’s website.
While it was challenging to get a good shot over David’s shoulder or from the side, etc (too many other photogs in the way, lol), it was great to actually photograph the set-up. Once David has a chance to edit all of the photos, attendees of the class even get the finished copies of the photos. My goal at that point is to compare some of my shots with his and I will hopefully be able to see exactly how to replicate David’s great wedding shots and use some of those ideas to improve my own wedding images.
