Portraiture

Akronnnnnnnn · 02-08-2010, 07:17 PM

We haven't even learned anything about taking portraits but I was just fucking around with my camera and 35-80mm EF lens and trying some lighting techniques while shooting in manual mode and came up with a couple good shots that only needed a couple edits. I'm definitely no portrait photographer but it's nice to shoot non-HDRs.

I think I need to shave huh =P

CnC is appreciated.

Don't shave!
No!

I'm trying not to anymore and see what happens, and it's getting pretty patchy.

Liking the lighting on all the photos except the second because it isn't very flattering.
Keep it up!

Try doing it with daylight.
Be inside, stand by a window so one side of the face is lighted up by the daylight outside.
Take pics.

Works great for black and white.
