I set this up with 2 back lights on a white background, one extra large soft-box on the right as the main light set at f/8 & 2 large white bookend reflectors on the left of the camera. I set my camera at f/5.6 & 1/125 to slightly over-expose the image. Shot in RAW format. When I developed the digital negative in RAW in P/S I increased the contrast & adjusted the brightness to pull back in just the bare details. It made her skin very smooth but gave me detail in her eyes, around her chin, mouth & nose, hair. I call this hi-key white on white. To me it is reminiscent of the old white on white images taken of of babies back in the 50's. #805489Sue C. Cole December 10, 2007
Jayme- I can see I will learn a lot taking advise from you. You are fabulous great job. I have a grand daught that has the most beautiful brown eyes. I am going to try this with her, if you don't mind. The white back ground you used, what was it? Sue #5192167Jayme S. Hall December 10, 2007
Sue- It's really kind of fun. Don't get scared or discouraged when you look at the image on your camera, it will look flat out awful :) I used a plain white paper backdrop. Good luck, here's another I did similarly. I had a ball! #5192216Jayme S. Hall December 10, 2007
Here's one of my all time favorites. I had asked her how old she was. 5 :) #5192241Sue C. Cole December 10, 2007
