Since there are not many photos of myself in recent years, I went with a traditional one that I felt good about as well as the one that my family liked. My lighting on a budget included a single off-camera flash on the right and a fill light on camera left and on the background. I did not have any assistance so I had to use a self timer and run into the frame, try to strike a pose and look natural (not so easy). I should have used a reflector as a fill, but didn't think of it at the time. I added the background in post as the black background was not as interesting. My settings were: F 6.3 1/125 iso 100 @ 50mm

Description

"Today I shall behave as if this is the day I will be remembered" - Dr Seuss
Since there are not many photos of myself in recent years, I went with a traditional one that I felt good about as well as the one that my family liked. My lighting on a budget included a single off-camera flash on the right & a fill light on camera left & on the background. I did not have any assistance so I had to use a self timer & run into the frame, try to strike a pose & look natural (not so easy). I should have used a reflector as a fill, but didn't think of it at the time. I added the background in post as the black background was not as interesting. My settings were: F 6.3 1/125 iso 100 @ 50mm
