dv8tor 0 Posted April 13, 2006 I'm new to portrait photography and am just testing the waters with some studio lights I borrowed from a friend. All I know is what I've read from a lighting book. The rest, I guess I have to learn from trial and error. For this, I used a single umbrella. Light on the background was from the room light. Some people have already told me that it's a little dark. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you can give me! Link to comment
pjmeade 12 Posted April 13, 2006 Hello DV, you've waited a long time to post an image. I can sense your pride, your wife is beautiful. I like the lighting and I think you have produced a nice portrait. However, you have set your wife in front of hard edges that are quite prominent. So a slight move to the left would give a more even background. It would also help if you submitted a smaller image, so that you have control of the compressed image that people see. Possibly 800px high for a portrait is a good size. I hope this helps. Best wishes. Peter Link to comment
