Casual Friday Night Shoot (Patreon)

Federica was at a loose end on Friday night, and put out a call for a photographer. I was happy to oblige. We got make up artist Love Hawkridge on board, and spent a couple of hours having some fun in and out of the studio.

The above shot was done in the studio's back yard. It was taken with just the natural light. You can see that most of the light is coming from above, which gives some shadow and hence shape. But there is no direct sunlight, so no problem with high contrast.

Federica also wanted some head shots. This one was taken with a ring flash that gives the impression of light coming from all around the camera and the circular catch light right in the middle of the eye. Another flash behind gives some highlights in her hair, seen in the bottom left of the photo.
