Day 51 :: Angela at Photo 101

At the Photo 101 workshop we spend half a day working on head shots.

One more day tomorrow!

How it was shot :: Lit from the window behind her. Reflectors catching that window light and bouncing it back into the eyes.

Cheers,
Zack

    Oh my God, that’s stunning! The DoF’s unbelievable.

    But listen Zack, the question on everyones’ lips is “How long did it take you to grow that beard?”

    (‘…on everyones’ lips…’, HA! Now THAT was funny…)

    Good work fella.

    JD – The only post production done was converting to B&W and resize for the web.

    Very cool! I got the biggest honkin’ catchlights I have ever seen when shooting Ilene using your “Big Mama” soft box! Loved the workshop! I have some images the models like, where can I email them?

    Wow! I just realized that you mentioned that the light is only from the window behind her? Now that’s awesome….
    You have reflectors bouncing the light back into her eyes! Great!!

    Totally awesome!
