Experimenting with backgrounds and ligting...Engagement Session....

[wistler]

Okay, these are basically my first real attempts at studio

portraits. I've dinked around before with a sheet and bad lights,

but now, I'm tackling it.

I'm hear to learn.

Thanks.

not bad but obviously photoshopped (at least the red). I would say that you should play around with a white sheet. set the sheet up in a corner, and blast it with a flash from behind. set up your couple 20 feet or more, and then light them as you would normally. (ie. flash or ambient) the sheet should give you a nice white without spilling over to the couple

 

or just hang a neutrally colored sheet - grey or navy - on a wall and shoot next to a window.

I think the first two look nice. The rule of thumb is to get the other person's chin at about the other subjects eye level.<div></div>
