Narihiro Shinjo – Uechi Ryu Karate, Yomitan, Okinawa, Japan. – Lit with Profoto B1

After taking the studio images against the black background for the Karate Masters Portrait Project, I asked Shinjo sensei if we could walk down to the beach and get a few location portraits. I unplugged, then packed up the Profoto 7a generator and pro head I’d used in the dojo, and grabbed the new Profoto B1 battery powered head and the beauty dish.

Set ambient exposure for the desired background then light up the subject with the flash. On location lighting with a bit of punch 🙂
