Fellow Photographers Make the Best Subjects
You get an idea for lighting but who are you going to try it out on. My experience is that most people do not have the patience to sit whilst you fuss with this light or that reflector so I was very pleased that fellow photographer, Bruce MacGregor agreed to sit for me. (oh and if you check out his website, you might recognize me under portraits!).
Here is the relatively simple lighting setup except the strip lights were vertical and the reflector laying flat on Bruce's lap but you get the idea!
Although it was relatively easy to take, this image was much more of a challenge to print.
I tried several labs who were unable to get the tones I needed or enough definition in the shadows. I finally went back to WHCC who did a pretty nice job.
You can see the final print in reality as it is on display at Newspace Gallery as part of the ASMP show until the end of the month.
