Still learning to light... any advice?

-Aaron

Awesome shot! I think black and white would be great too.

shooting with the softbox?

:thumbup:

I think the light and shadow are great in that pic! :thumbup: I also like how his toes are the central focus - at least to me.

Yep, EzyBox at the 1 o'clock position. Bare flash at 4 o'clock. Seems like it worked out ok.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

Aaron, nice light there, its the sharpness combined with the light that makes the shot work. :thumbup: If you want you could mask the right side of the babys head via pp and raise the shadow level just a bit to even it all out.

I thought about that. I wish he had been lit a bit more evenly. Although I do like how dramatic it turned out, too. Either way, you're getting into a territory I don't have much patience for these days. I'd rather improve my lighting technique so I can spend more time shooting and less time masking! :LOL:

well, now your finding youself in the same boat as i did a few years back. Looking back the only thing i can share that i have learned and dam i hate to admit this. No matter how nice the shot or good the light pp always improves the shot :shrug:

Oh I agree. PP is great... In that photo there were a few places in the black background that were partially showing. I just had to help them back into the shadows a little bit. :D
