These are the pictures of Hanna from last week. Some of them turned out pretty good. I do need to get better at “directing” a shoot. I really don’t know what I am doing. I was lucky in that Hanna was a natural in front of the camera.

 

I tried to work with a couple of pictures to desaturate the picture a bit, but left some color in the eyes and lips. I have had a comment that it looks too washed out now, but it was a first attempt at a look I was trying.

These pictures were taken with an Alien Bees ring light. It was kind of interresting. It was a little difficult to shoot with. Because of it being a ring light, it was hard to just hand hold the camera. We had to put the camera lens into the center of the light to get the right effect. We had a lot of people that needed a turn, so we didn’t actually mount our camera’s to the light or a tripod. It was a little awkward.

The light that comes from these lights is interresting. It is pretty bright. It would be nice to do a better comparison between softboxes vs bare ring light.
