One Light, One Sun: Creating a Tone-on-Tone Senior Portrait With the FJ400
For this senior portrait of Phillip, I used one Westcott FJ400, high-speed sync, and the setting sun to create a clean tone-on-tone look. I break down how I exposed for the sky first, balanced flash with ambient light, used color harmony to guide the portrait, and finished the image in Lightroom without relying on heavy editing.
The People We Walk Past

This morning in downtown Lake Charles, I met up with Mr. Mike and his dog Scooter — two familiar faces many people recognize around town. What started as a quick portrait session turned into a conversation about faith, freedom, simplicity, and community.
