One way I try to create a image that has some depth is to
add a back light to rim light my subject.
By doing this, you can create some separation and dynamics to your
picture that otherwise is not there.
In this picture, I am shooting with a Canon 5D MIII and a
24-70 2.8L. There is a light stand
directly behind me with 600EX-RT Flash set at 1/4 power with a plastic light
diffuser to insure the front of my bride and groom are exposed correctly. My wife is knelt down behind them with a
600EX-RT at 1/4 power with no modifier. She
is holding it sideways so that the light is sent mostly up and down. I have that flash manually set to 35mm so
that the light spills out onto the dance floor.
I am using the Yongnuo YN-E3-RT transmitter to control the flashes.
While I admit the light coming off the veil is too hot, I
think it actually works for the creative look I was looking to achieve.
