Portrait 353

Day 353 of 365

"Portrait 353"

 

Today's portrait.........well, I just love the subject. All I had to do in order for her to pose for me was to bring the ipad with me to the studio. I then taped a balloon to the wall, and set up a flashlight to shine on it. She is actually sitting on a posing stool, and didn't even fall off once!! Great parenting. The sweater is a very fancy hand-me-down. Our key light is a gridded and barn-doored strobe, very close at camera-left. There is a flag to block most of the light, just allowing a strip of light to reach our subject. There is a snooted speedlight behind our model, and it creates just a subtle spot behind her head. Lastly, there is an on-camera ringflash, used to just fill in some of the shadows. While there are several outtakes of her laughing and smiling, I went with the more composed image. Though she has brilliant blue eyes, I thought a black and white version would be interesting. She is a huge "Game of Thrones" fan. Thanks for stopping by!!
