I want to start year three of this blog by immediately attacking the "to do" list from our birthday posting, this is number three from the list "feature the work of fellow photographers".This other photographer is Jo Alldredge.
Jo is one of the many people I have had the pleasure of meeting while writing Weekly Photo Tips, and while I was perusing her website recently I came across these images and was blown away with how good they are.
I really like everything about them - the setup, the lighting, the processing - everything.
When I asked Jo about the lighting she said "I don't use a light meter, I use the guess and then check method. I had my husband turning the power up and down and moving the soft box depending on where Cindy was standing and how I wanted the lighting".
Guess and then check is my favorite technique as well.
She did use an Alien B800, an Alien Bee Foldable Large Octabox (47"), and a Vagabond II Portable Power System.Jo did these images for musician Cindy Standage (you can see more of Jo's work throughout Cindy's website).
Jo processed these images in Lightroom.
Be sure to check out Jo's blog and her website.

Love it Scott! Thanks :D Yes, I used a light meter in school and found that it took just as long if not longer than the guess and check method. I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses it!
Jo is amazing.
I have a Sekonic meter I had to have. I've used it twice. Now I just shoot and chimp. After a while, you kind of "know" what the settings are going to be, or at least close.
the final results are amazing

I really enjoyed reading this blog post and seeing the beautiful photographs by Jo Alldredge. Her use of lighting and composition is truly impressive, and it's clear that she has a great eye for detail.
I also appreciated the insight into her process and techniques, particularly her use of the "guess and then check" method for lighting. It's always interesting to learn how other photographers approach their work, and I think this shows how creativity and experimentation can lead to great results.
Overall, I think featuring the work of fellow photographers is a great way to showcase their talent and inspire others in the photography community. I look forward to seeing more amazing work from Jo and other photographers in the future.
