More Cornerstone Portraits

Filed under: Friends — DavidRM @ 10:46 pm

These are the last of the Cornerstone portraits. I learned a lot:
  • The lights need to be further away from the subjects.
  • 3 lights is probably better than just 2.
  • I need a background 3m x 3m to ensure full coverage.
  • Have an assistant.
  • I need a variety of neutral backgrounds that can be chosen based on hair color and clothes. The idea is to have a background that can be easily separated from the subjects.

More Portrait Taking

Filed under: Friends — DavidRM @ 3:08 pm

Yesterday I learned how much more I still have to learn about shooting portraits. Everything didn’t go exactly as planned, but I learned a lot–about lighting, and about how to salvage images with Photoshop Elements. 😉 I used Elements to replace the background I actually shot against. If you go back through the blog, you should be able to find the images I pulled them from.
