I recently photographed an outdoor family session in the late morning on a 100F day. To keep the skies, I used off camera flash (x2) but could not use a modifier because there was a breeze that day and I didn't have anything to hold my stands down (newb mistake, I know- we were all very grateful for that breeze though). Everyone in the photos are hot and getting oily and it shows in the photos.

So far I've been using a masking brush with texture pulled down, but there's got to be another way. I have also tried the healing brush tool, but there's so many hotspots that it's not working very well (not much to choose from for the healing part of the brush).

What is your go to method to removing hotspots in Lightroom?

Has anyone ever brought translucent face powder with them to a session and applied it to their clients? How was that recieved? I've done that once, for my niece- she didn't care and was grateful to not have shiny spots on her skin, but I just don't know how that would go over with 'strangers' or a group of them!

Furthermore, does anyone have modifier recommendations for the Godox ADPro200ii that doesn't fall over at the slightest breeze? Or good sandbag/weight recommendations?

Hello All!!

I'm hosting an art class for youth this week and I'm hoping to find some references for them to use for their projects. I would prefer colorful bugs as the class is on color theory using the cyan, magenta, and yellow color palette. Naturally, I'm hoping for bright colored creatures!

I'm thinking moths, butterflies, caterpillars, beetles- anything colorful.

I feel icky just downloading photos from google images. Knowing a little bit about copyright law, it feels wrong. Is there anywhere I can ethically download and print images for the kids to use as references?

The class will have 13 students, so I'm hoping to have about 15 or so references. The students have been asked to bring photo references that they took earlier this summer with me on a photo walk, but not all the kids attended my photo class, so they won't all have references. Plus I know some of them won't bring any of the photos that they did take.
