    Kiss of Love

    I would like to write just my personal opinion. For me the light in this photo is not flat it is just soft. Flat light is the light that gives no shadows, here we have shadows (soft but shadows) that give depth so we have 3 dimentions. It really is not that easy to have perfectly flat light, it needs to have equally powerful light from all directions. To have a flat photo we must have two kind of flatness, flatness of light and flatness of perspective like when we shout a portrait from far with super telephoto. A flat photo is not a bad photo, it is just a different photo. I like flat photos, somehow they de-materialize the subject. I like photos like this:

    flash on camera and camera upside down so the flash is under the camera and erase shadows in neck.
    I notice that people write every time new dogmas about photography, I write just my personal opinion.
