Now the problem is you need light on the model right ? Well when you set your shutter speed that fast, you need to compensate by pumping up the power of the flash to make your model pop. Hence you end up with a perfectly balanced exposure. There was no post done to this photo at all. Remember, I had to use the hi speed sync mode on my Canon flash to achieve this. Go and try it. You will see what I am talking about. ETTL will give you an average exposure but it is like setting your camera on full auto. You will get satisfactory results but if you want custom results, you have to go to manual and manipulate your gear. I teach all of this and more in my private photography workshops where it's just you, me , the make up artist and model. Check out the workshop page http://jasonchristopher.com/workshop.htm and thank you for your question Jeremy ! Hi Jeremy,

The images I was able to capture have been hands down my finest and have recieved much positive attention from respected personalities within the feild of fashion. Prior to our workshop, I had some knowledge yet possesed little experience in the evolution of a shoot. From conception to post production, your passion and mastery of each statge awakened new leves in my photographic pursuit. Initial set up, interaction with hair and makeup, discourse with models, and especially lighting setups are amongst the most valluable tools I now possess. However, it is your vast resevoir of knwoledge and experience that shown in those moments between shoots that helped me the most. There was no subject to small or obscure that you could not answer. This was a truly an invaluable weekend and has surely provided me with a platform and the confidence to take my expereince out into the industry. With many thanks, Jeff Corzine Jason,
