Studio Lighting - Written by wizwow on Saturday, March 8, 2008 12:46 - 3 CommentsSimple, Yet Dramatic Light for Headshots and Portraits
I keep the umbrella as low as possible and if I raised the camera an inch you would see the bottom of the umbrella. This light is not condusive to every face, for instance if there are lots of blemishes. It would not be a good choice for heavy people or those with lots of lines their faces. The increased contrast would bring out the wrinkles and lines instead of diminishing them with the fill card. 3 CommentsGreat stuff. Your website is a gold mine! What variations would you use with a model who is “heavier, has blemishes or wrinkles”, etc.? Art Cofresi I agree, this is the type of photography I enjoy doing, and your help in explaining how to go about it is like fexy01 said; a gold mine. Thank you… Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment. |
