I'm a new-comer in the world of photography and am trying to get a portrait like this one of my child. Good lighting, and very real picture. #7590Amy Hummingbird August 13, 2002
Thanks so much, Sobia. I just loved it too, because his hair is so messy and he's picking at his knee. He'd just gotten out of bed.I'm pretty much a newcomer too. The lighting was sunlight through the front door of my house. I've tried this several times, and the time of day really does make all the difference in the world. #11422

Yes Ammi, I've noticed his picking or scratching and it just draws the viewer's attention to look at. How did you create that dark background by the way? #11567Amy Hummingbird August 15, 2002
It's a black bed sheet. About as far from professional as you can get! #11574Sobia Chishti August 15, 2002
Haven't you read the article by Denise Miotke about making our own backdrops? I myself have used my husband's black sweater for a background. #11580Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
