Saint Avian:Lighting

This is Saint Avian, a really lovely married couple that perform existing songs but in their own unique style.
I photographed them at The Assembly Rooms in Marlow a while ago for some promo images for their website.

The main reason i have put these two images together is to demonstrate how important lighting is, bearing in mind these two images were taken a few minutes apart it shows how careful lighting with flash can change the entire feeling of the image.
On the left image, the ambient light has been dropped by underexposing the scene and then using a flash to bring back up the exposure, on the right the flash has been reduced and the shutter speed has been slowed to bring in lots more ambient light-see the blown out sky through the window.
By using these techniques you can produce images that have a different feeling about them which can give variety to your work in a short space of time.
