Unique Lighting for Portraits
Sometimes, when taking portraits, photographers can get stuck in a rut doing the same thing each time. To give a different look to portraiture, lighting the scene in different ways creates different modes and unique looks. Here is some examples of different ways I did some portraits. Using 2 speed lights, I positioned the lights behind the model. By having the model pose in different ways, I was able to create these unique and different portraits. Finding the models personality also helps to create unique shots. My camera setting were F/14, Shutter Speed 1/160, and the ISO was 200.
Douglas Phan showed me how to set this up and how to get the best results. Caryn Esplin is also a great mentor when it comes to learning these different techniques. Here is a website with some great tips on how to use great lighting.
