Head Shots in High Key


Mastering the high key.  Here's my hubs.  The handsomest.

I'm not sure why I love this one so much... but I do.

This looks so intense, but really, it's just "tilt your chin down, eyes up at the camera."

Love profile shots.

My son.  Always happy to model for me.      Not.        He looks happy here, though.

Love his gigantic lips.  Not sure where he got those...   And it looks like they need a wee bit of chapstick, here.

Sigh.  Lashes.

A sad day. No faces to shoot.  Good thing I had this ridiculously awesome Kombucha bottle hanging about.

For anyone interested, here's my lighting/equipment setup:
1 large white reflector (40x60 foam core board) behind subject, one behind camera.  1 SB800 pointed at reflector behind camera.  Nikon D90, 50mm 1.4.  I mostly shoot wide open.

Happy Happy Thursday!  And go Ducks!
