I was invited to beta-test a printer's latest Mac software for album design last week and so decided to put together a photobook of my daughter Emily's first year. I'm sure all parents think the same - where did that year go! I thoroughly enjoyed doing this and I'd recommend putting together albums of your favourite photos - it's good to get the shots off the monitor and into printed form.

Just wanted to say I love your daughters photobook, and thanks for your blog, which I discovered today. I've learned some new things from your blog so thanks! Just one question- do you think that more than 2 lights are necessary or practical for a mobile kit? Especially if you want to do high key? Can you get round it easily enough with a reflector, and photoshop? I have the bowens studio-in-a-box two light kit and a 308ex off camera flash. Thanks so much!
Hi Adrian,
Many thanks for the positive feedback.
I made the controversial decision not to buy studio lights but to stick with Canon's Speedlites - not the cheapest option but very portable and very easy to operate. Three 580EX IIs can be wirelessly connected using TTL metering.
Portability is really a question of how much you're willing to put up with!
I'm a strong advocate of using Photoshop to take shortcuts. You can do high key with only two lights provided you use an easily distinguishable background - check out:

Hope this helps.
Yours,
David
