Double portrait?


Looking back on this shoot a few weeks on i realise that the background shadows are very distracting and could easily be fixed with two crossed back lights pointed at opposite sides of the canvas. Also better backdrops would have made the pictures far mor interesting.

Single Portraits

1)Hollywood - f11 @ 1/60th
2)Rembrant - f9 @ 1/60th
3)Narrow - f10 @ 1/100th
4)Broad - f5.6 @ 1/100th

In photos two and three the shadow in the background are too dominant. We should have had the subject stand further out from the backdrop but unfortunately the colour roll was quite narrow so the subjects needed to be close to it to prevent the edges from being shown. The light on the sunglasses is pretty bad as we were using an un-diffused floodlight rather than a softbox so it is to be expected.
