Yesterday, 09/30/2010 I was finally able to take some pictures of my husband and he was very enthusiastic about sitting for me. He did a wardrobe change and added his own props. Once again, I took some high key portraits because I want to make sure I've "perfected" this method before I move on to low key portraits with various backgrounds. The below pictures were ran through photoshop a little so that the white background was nice and bright and not muddy. This discoloration was caused by the f stop on the background light being to high (f11.7 which is >2stops higher than the main light) causing it to be overexposed and the light fell off into the foreground. Therefore, I need to use less power on the background (decrease the fstop). On my next shoot I am going to try f8 which is only 1stop higher than the main light (f5.6).
The first group of pictures were "professional headshots" of Dr. Taylor done on a high key background. These pictures would be posted under the "Headshots" category.
The second group of pictures have a more casual tone....These pcitures would be posted under "Lifestyle - Living Life" category. Introducing the DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN...Mr. Taylor.
Once again, thank you for following my blog!
