It’s time to catch up, so lets step back a bit. At the beginning of… May? – Holy smokes, I kicked off the month with a portrait session for a family not far away. Set up indoors, on location studio style, no assistants – just simple relaxed and fun.
For background light, there’s two SB900’s each with a reflective umbrella fired at the wall giving roughly 1.5 stops over main. Main light is simply a 60″ shoot through.
Here we killed the lights and used just sunlight backlit through window keyed with a partial gold reflector to camera right.
Went lengthwise in the building to encourage light falloff and gain a background with no distractions. Cross-lit with bare flash about 45° behind subject to camera right for a slight backlight / kicker and small 28″ softbox camera left.
Lighting is still basically the same here, we just shuffled positions and concentrated the key light on Owen for a little separation .
Move in the main a little bit closer and you get a little more separation…
Back to natural light, and not much of it…
I would be interested in the exif data sometime, when you have some spare time. Just for learning purposes.
Thanks…Ray.
Exif data is stored right in the image file that you are looking at. You can pull it out of the jpeg. Do a search for retrieving exif data.
