Thanks @gringalicious (great name, btw)... I haven't really spoken about gear much because my personal opinion is that gear isn't a big part of the equation for me. (I guess that's because I have so many cameras and so much gear! :) These farmers market portraits were made with a Nikon D700 I used to have, along with one Nikon SB900 battery operated flash pushing through a cheap little portable shoot-through umbrella. For portraits now (including the chef images in this series), I use a D800 or D4 (and usually 2-3 Paul C. Buff Einstein strobes), but actually you could make these kinds of images with any camera that has a full-frame sensor. The size of the sensor is what gives them their specific quality.... providing for a little more depth/focus separation than a crop sensor would give you. Re gear for video, that's a whole other much more complicated story, and maybe sometime it would be fun to get into that. Thanks!
