Portrait Practice

Not much time tonight before I lost light but I did manage to get a few shots.


Some things I will try next time are:

• Raise her seat higher so the deck rail is not in the frame and eliminate the shadows on her left cheek.
• Change her orientation to simulate short lighting on her right side.
• Use the reflector to make a catch light at the 2:00 position.
• Lower her chin a bit.
• Use an aperture of 5.6 for more DOF
