Great Expectations

Category: Portraiture

Shutter Speed: 1/1000 second

Aperture: f2.8

ISO: 400

In this shot I only used one light source and left a shadow on one side of the model’s face. In portraiture, single source lighting will usually add shadow and create a more dramatic effect. I usually have my subjects even more off centered, but I wanted a close shot, so I didn’t want to move her out of the frame much more. I got her to lick her lips just before shooting to add just a bit of glint to them.
