Portrait Photography – Rachelle
Here are some pictures from an afternoon shoot with our friend Rachelle. Some photos were taken at home and some at St. Mary’s in Mundelein. Thanks to my wife Megan for assisting and advising in this shoot. She’s so awesome. VIEW PHOTOS
Portraits with a Single Light Source
For this set, I switched off all the lights in the apartment and hung a 100-watt fluorescent ‘daylight’ bulb from inside a closet. Then I controlled the light using the closet door—my DIY version of ‘barn doors.’ I taped up sheets of wax paper as a diffuser. I tried first to light the side of the face while using a reflector to fill in the shadows (not successful as the bulb, being diffused, did not produce enough light). Most of the better photos materialized when I shot from inside the closet. Another lesson: In low-light situations, shoot sitting down to reduce shakiness. Many photos came out soft/blurry and were not as sharp as they could have been. A big ‘thank you’ to my model, my wife Meg. Lens: 50mm 1.8. VIEW PHOTOS
