Experimenting with light!
- I think the frontal lighting is more dramatic than the ceiling or wall-bounced lighting because it creates a harder look. I think bouncing the light from the flash creates a much more flattering photograph. I prefer the wall-bounced lighting as it makes the photo a lot softer and warmer.
- I think using window light creates a much more natural photo but can cause shadows on the side of the subject which isn't exposed to the light - however using a reflector on that side can fill in the shadows and make it a lot brighter. I personally preferred using the reflector as I think it creates an overall better photograph.
Kate - I told you to make me look good!!! Haha..great work munchie :)) I really like those shots of Dad....he looks so kind and friendly..which he is..so you captured his spirit nicely! My only advice is to think about your framing and composition every time you take a shot until it becomes instinctive .. with the shots of Rog, you did fill the frame with your subject which is great but I think there could have been more consideration over the visual elements within the frame as the curtains are a little distracting ;) Great job all in all...very proud of you xxxxxx
