YES! I GOT KIMU OUT FOR A SHOOT! this was my first time working with some umbrella's I picked up at a THRIFT STORE of all places. I Was grateful they did not understand what they had. I had found that with the light stands up it was obvious that we were shooting costumes and were no threat to the joggers and general people passing by. Safety is a big concern of mine and I always want to make sure everyone is safe and the experience is a positive one.
