Self portrait, introspective
Got myself some new lights and light stands, and prior to trying them out on anyone else I thought I'd better get some practice in. Yes, once again I've spent the entire day photographing myself. As you can see I really love the modelling.
More toys definitely make a difference here and open up some classic lighting set-ups. A big umbrella diffuses the main light to give soft shadows, and a big silver reflector adds those little silvery highlights that define the shadowy side of my face. The light on the background separates me nicely from the surroundings. And I still have one light spare :-)
I get to try all this out on a willing model tomorrow, should be interesting...
