More messing around with lighting

[Richard]

I wanted to get more light into the eyes, but this proved to difficult being the photographer and model.




ok next time I need to find a better looking model..

A very dramatic self portrait Richard. To get more light into the eyes any white surface taped to a wall in front of you (to reflect the light coming from behind) could likely have bounced some of that light back into your face. Also your glasses are a bit too low. Hope that helps - Marko

Thanks for the tips Marko, definitely a big help.

I'll have to give it another go at some point.

nice shot! I am looking forward to the redo!!

Nice shot. It will be even better when you redo it with Marko's suggestions.

Thanks guys, I hope to get round to re-shooting soon, I just need to wait for a night when the wife is out so I can take over the lounge.

lol, tell her she's not spending enough 'me' time with her friends and that she should go out to a show

You may have failed with the eyes but everything else is excellent. Love the skin tones, sharpness and overall lighting angles.

cheers MA, I'm still waiting on a free moment for the re-shoot. I've just got to be careful with the light on the left, as it cause my glasses to cast a shadow over the eye.
