This portrait of my daughter Hannah and Snuggle Puppy is the result of my first session using a strobist lighting setup. Strobist lighting is a method of lighting using off camera strobes (flash), and radio transceivers made popular by David Hobby's strobist blog www.strobist.blogspot.com. I lit this shot using a shoot thru umbrella located above, and to camera right.
