I convinced my youngest daughter to sit for me for a few minutes. I mostly wanted to try to capture her eye color but I really liked how she looked in this one. It seems to capture who she is.
Strobist: One strobe at 1/4 power bounced into a silver umbrella at camera right.
Given that I managed to get back into the 365days thing, I thought I would do a more arty type self-portrait.
I’m sitting on the floor with black foam-core behind me. I have one Vivitar 385HV strobe shooting at 1/16 power through a snoot a bit in front of and to the right of the camera, mounted about 4.5 feet high. I did some PS work to get rid of blemishes and try to tone down the shine. I tried using a reflector to bounce light back at me to give me some separation from the background, but either I couldn’t get the angle right, or I really need another light/flash in order to accomplish this.
