Cute girl! However, the way the light is coming from below kinda makes it a spooky shot!
A little light box on my 580EXII cobra on the left side of photo and another 580EX on the floor on the right side of photo.
thanks for visit and comments.
Spooky lighting
I am suprised. If you had the 580EXII to the camera left we should have seen catchlights in her eyes unless it was very much to the left. The eyes are kinda dead in this photo. A good tutorial on basic portrature lighting can be found at Chuck Gardner's site. He, like most folks that know their stuff, can get a bit preachy but he illustrates what he is talking about very well and makes it easy to understand and henceforth use. The use of light properly creates a 3 dimensional effect in the photo. That is unless you were going for that kind of shot and know all this already, then: never mind...
You have a great opportunity with a very pretty and seemingly cooperative model (I realize there are limits to their cooperation). Anyway, read Chuck, try some of his ideas, and see if you like them.
