So anyone who really knows me, knows that I am not a fan of artificial lighting. I am 100% in love with natural lighting! One of God's first creations, LIGHT! :) But I also know that as a photographer I want to grow and learn other techniques as well. So last week my assistant/mentee practiced taking shots of each other with window lighting, then using umbrella lights. I picked up a little something and also realized that I didn't have to use flash (did I mention that I am not a fan of flash) if the setting was bright enough. Well a while back my dad made me a homemade soft box which I intend to use for practice until I am comfortable enough and have the space to purchase strobes. With all this said. I actually practiced a little more 2 days later on Clari (Essynce Model) and here are some of the shots. *fingers crossed* :p
materials used: homemade softbox, clamp light, and fluorescent bulbs
