Description

Since photography is defined as 'writing with light', my goal this week was to try low-key lighting emphasizing my subject in a dramatic way while keeping the majority of the image dark. This is my new favorite image of my husband as it embodies his finest qualities: patience, always thoughtful & warm, & a well rounded spiritual man you can't help but love! I took this image in a completely dark room. I placed an off camera flash behind the subject w/ a small diffuser attached.There was a bit of trial & error in getting an even light all around. Very little processing was needed except I warmed up the light, which seemed fitting for the subject. My settings were F11 ss1/8 iso 100 @60mm used OCF on manual @1/2 power.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.

I hear, I forget.
