    Welcome to DGrin, I like the lighting, alittle soft and two centered but the lighting looks good and so does the background. thumb.gif

    Welcome to d-grin! wave.gif
    What lighting did you use? Normally, I wouldn't like everything going on in the background for a posed shot...but, this works.

    Hi,

    well, I didn't use much gear :

    Just my sb800 and an ombrella on the left, link to my camera with a synch cable. This all go through my sekonic flashmate (L308 or something like that) which I've used to determine a correct aperture.

    I think the flash power was something like 1/2 or 1/1.

    By the way : I'm not really into "luxurious" background either, I mean: for a portrait so, in fact, this is why I use the flash that way, underexposing the background. thumb.gif
    Anyway, the suburban environment was really important for that portrait.

    This is France but one can feel the american suburb's influence :D
