Talented commercial photographer Lou Freeman discusses the dos and don’ts of an ad campaign photo shoot at Coyote Ugly. Behind the scenes, Lou demonstrates the importance of a background in a portrait.

For this shoot, Lou uses 4 lights in her set up: a speedlite modified with the Apollo Orb and grid as a key light, a speedlite modified with the Apollo Strip and grid coming from below, a gelled speedlite to illuminate the mirror across from her subjects, and a snooted speedlite to bring life to the background.
