"Sunflower Burst with Blur" by Patti Deters. Here's a brightly colored sunflower drawing with petals in shades of orange and yellow. The large brown center is full of little seeds, and the edges of the bloom are blurred a bit for artistic effect. This is a single sunflower blossom with a square crop, on a canvas background.

"My Oldest Concept"
I came up with this concept about 30 years ago. I was looking through Annie Leibovitz's book of celebrity portraits, and this idea came to mind. Actually, the original concept had the subject standing on a wooden post, in the water at the pier in Sausalito. With that said, I just finished painting my second canvas background, and figured there was no time like the present to execute my decades-old idea! This is the result of exactly 60 falls. On to the lighting! My key light is a large umbrella with a diffusion panel, and it is located directly over the sad man's head. It lights his hair, the background, and most of his shirt. However, alone it would leave the eyes completely dark. Our second light is a beauty dish, just out of frame at camera-left. It only light's his mug, and you can see the catchlight in his eyes. It took some time to place it in the right spot, as he is falling during the exposure. Next, there is a deep octa at camera-left, and it is low and aimed away from the background. It is only used to fill in the dark slacks, which would otherwise vanish in the shadows. At the very last second I added a fourth light. It is a small softbox, is located directly behind his posterior, and is referred to as an "ass light". Actually, I may have made that up. Regardless, it is used to give some separation from the background. Thanks for leaning in and having a look!!

"Sometimes I Just Commit to a Crappy Idea"
I had the greatest idea for today's image......but it was a terrible idea. In a near panic, I found this doll and her.....friend...? In my defense, the lighting would have worked nicely with a human model.......oh..........but, maybe without her friend. There is a strip box at camera-left, and the young lady is standing near the back edge of the light. You can tell this by the location of her shadow. Because the key light is rather close to her, there was quite a bit of falloff on her left cheek. To remedy this and the darker edge of her fecal friend, I positioned a piece of foamcore, just out of frame at camera-right. One can see the reflection in the poo's left cheek. There is a second snooted strobe working on the canvas background. I'm pretty sure Vermeer would be in awe. Please feel free to comment with your own title for the portrait. Thanks for plopping by!!

Today a human wandered into the studio!! Thank you, Elana! I had a whole set-up arranged...and we basically did not use it for this image. I will go back and post one of the originally planned images, but I liked this one. You are looking at my Light Blaster projecting a grid on lovely Elana. The Blaster is attached to a speedlight, and is just out of frame at camera-right. There is a gridded beauty dish casting a touch of light on my canvas background (just for some separation), and a strip bank at camera-left, just puffing a little light on her shoulder and hair. Just a puff. While I would not use this as a formal portrait, it hopefully makes the viewer take a second look.

"Fancy Pants"
Today's model not only put on a fancy shirt and fancy pants, but the lighting is a little more intricate than normal. We actually used four lights for this portrait. First, let me just say that our model was impatient, self-conscious, and generally difficult to work with. This is....a self-portrait. As for the technical aspects, our key light is a sharply focused speedlight with a snoot, and it is located just out of frame at camera-left. It lights the center of our "model's" face, and that triangle of light under the camera-right eye. Next, there is a strobe behind camera, shooting through my new roll of diffusion. It lights the shirt, pants and arms. Third, there is a very large diffused umbrella directly overhead of our subject, and it is working his hair, and a little something-something on the hand-painted canvas background. Lastly, there is a snooted speedlight behind our subject, delivering that circle of light behind his head. The light on the visage is the centerpiece of this set-up. Once it was in place, everything else was built up around it. Thanks for passing through!

"Portrait of Woman in Front of Canvas"
Today's portrait is of a woman in front of a canvas. We used three lights for this one. Our key light is a very snooted speedlight at camera-left, and it is just out of frame. It is focused directly on her visage (face), and nothing else. The closer the light, the tighter the focus. The second light is a ring flash (around the camera lens), and it fills in the shadows and lights her body. Lastly, there is a beauty dish lighting the background. The background light is actually supplying a little hairlight at camera-left, and that kiss of light on her right tricep. I actually did flag the light, but just a tad of light crept around and gave us the rim light. It ended up supplying a little separation. I don't mind it. Thanks for stopping by!!

"Super Bowl Cheesecake"
Yay, football. Today's young model is courtesy of our visiting friends, the Cohens. Being the huge football fan that I am not, we had a few friends over for the big game. I really believe that Morgan Freeman was the winner tonight. Anyway, tonight's portrait is another one-lighter. At camera-left is a large Octabox, and it is feathered a bit in front of your model. It provides a bit of light to our background, and does not cause a hot spot on our subject. There is a bounce board at camera-right, as we didn't want to leave that side in shadow. Simple and to the point. I hope her parents like the results. Thanks for dropping in!!

"Portrait of a Button"
Today's subject was the only person available for a self-portrait. That's the way it goes sometimes. Let's ignore the subject, and just look at the light. First of all, yes, that IS my diy canvas background. Thank you for noticing. So, our key light is a gridded beauty dish, and it is at about a forty-five degree angle, right down the middle. A flag was used to block the top of the light, creating the shadow on the forehead. This was done to focus the viewers' attention to his mug. The next light is a ringflash on the camera. It fills in some of the shadows created by the rather harsh beauty dish, and creates that very light shadow against the background. When a subject is very close to the background, the ringflash creates that classic shadow around the subject. Lastly, a snooted speedlight was used to put a little additional light on the background on the camera-right side. Because the flag cancelled out some of the light on the top, this last light was employed to give a little separation between the subject and the background. In post I added a green tone to the background, and added a layer of an image of a rusted piece of metal. I then faded that layer, allowing just a bit of the texture to show through. Thanks for spending a tiny bit of your Saturday with me!!
