Day 60 :: Photo 101 in Dubai

I’m currently in Dubai teaching at Gulf Photo Plus. Today was our photo 101 class where we concentrate on working with available light and simple modifiers to create headshots.

How it was shot :: Nikon D3 with the 105mm f2 lens. Available light with a 60″ silver reflector under the lens to bring light back into Abby’s eyes.

Cheers,
Zack

    @diane yes, her eyes had lot of character and was just screaming “keep me sharp” (along with zack’s voice in my head) in the headshots!

    What a stellar shot, just a classic black and white. I love how a black and white can bring out the details in the eyes and face. Great work!

    What I wouldn’t do for a few days in Dubai! Enjoy!
