Description

This is a technically incorrect shot I had to create for my studio lighting class. For this lesson we were lighting a black backdrop and a "correct" image would have lights behind the subject to give separation between him and the b/d. This was done with 1 main light and softbox. Unfortunately when it was time to setup my lights for the correct shots I couldn't get him to give me this look again, but it was too cute not to share!!

I love this Allison!!! And personally, I dont like a separation when using a black backdrop anyway! This is terrific! #4703715

It is too cute not to share and while it might be "technically" incorrect for a class, it doesn't detract one bit from the quality or content! I don't always think that techinically perfect shots are best...but they help in getting a good grade!
This is a gret shot and pose! #4703719
