ambient light portrait
Hi,
http://www.fauland-fotografie.de/Bildkritik.html this shot was taken in the staricase of an old house using ambient light. I was trying with and without additional flash, but like this version better. Comments are welcome. bye Peter |

intriguing . Your website is another story, too dark!! |

Hi, Peter, I like a great deal about the photo. The subject is in the light and in focus, while the background recedes into shadow and out of focus -- a very nice touch on making the subject really stand out. My only hesitation is that the light on the model does not model her face at all. She has no shading to give roundness and depth to her face. Her nose, at least on my monitor, does not extend from her face; it seems to be a part of her cheekbones. The collar of her jacket, her turtleneck sweater, and her chin also appear to be on the same plane. It may be that my monitor is just not showing any shading, and in any event, this is a minor quibble which I bring up because the photo is so well done in separating the model from the background -- excellent composition and striking subject. -- Philip Stripling | email to the replyto address is presumed Legal Assistance on the Web | spam and read later. email to philip@ http://www.PhilipStripling.com/ | my domain is read daily. |

Hi Phil,
I like a great deal about the photo. The subject is in the light and in focus, while the background recedes into shadow and out of focus -- a very nice touch on making the subject really stand out. Thank you. The location was kind of "backup solution" because the weather was bad ... My only hesitation is that the light on the model does not model her face at all. She has no shading to give roundness and depth to her face. Her nose, at least on my monitor, does not extend I agree with you, the light situation could be improved. I plan to go tere again and use external fill-flash plus reflector ... minor quibble which I bring up because the photo is so well done in separating the model from the background -- excellent composition and striking subject. Thanks again ... I will let her know ... :-))) bye Peter -- ---------------------------------------------------- http://www.fauland-fotografie.de ---------------------------------------------------- |

Peter,
Quite nice really. I see a small highlight in the bottom of her left eye. Is this a reflector or some other reflective surface nearby? You said you tried some with flash and some without. Just wondering. Jack Peter Fauland wrote: Hi, http://www.fauland-fotografie.de/Bildkritik.html this shot was taken in the staricase of an old house using ambient light.

Hi Jack,
Quite nice really. I see a small highlight in the bottom of her left eye. Is this a reflector or some other reflective surface nearby? You said you tried some with flash and some without. Just wondering. You really looked carefully. In this shot I just used a 5in1 refelctor with the golden surface (reflecting the little natural light available). All shots with flash were too outshined, even after reducing by 2 stops. I guess the distance model - flash was too short using the available space. Of course one could use a flash - 5in1 reflector setup .... There are many ways to go for .... :-))) http://www.fauland-fotografie.de/Bildkritik.html Thanks for commenting ....

Something needs to done to give depth to her face. -1.5 to -2 Fill light from the left to cast a weak shaddow from her hair and nose, as well as put stronger catchlights in her eyes, perhaps.
