Outdoor portrait

[Daniel ROCHA]

Hello All,

I would like to introduce my Portrait gallery.

The pictures were taken in the street of Paris.

Mainly, I used b&w films. I really like b&w for portraiture.

A flash located near the lens of the camera will light up the whole
face equally and make her face look big and round.
It washes out all the shadows and makes it look more 2 dimensional.

Moving flash around to the side adds shadows and modeling and makes
the face look more three dimensional.

Moving flash around more lets part of the face get lost in the shadows
and can make a person look thinner than they are.

This is called lighting the "short side".

The same thing can be done with available light.

Going outside when the sun is low just before sunset gives directional
light that is easier to work with and adds a warmth many people like.

Don't add too much fill with a reflector or on-camera flash if any or
you will ruin the effect.

Might be nice if you had a digital camera to experiment with.

I liked the scenic stuff, Paris in snow etc.
seems like you have exposure and printing down.
need a few tips on shaping light, what works great for urban scenic isn't
always the best for faces.

btw, the site design is nice, but the tumbling effects got old after the
first dozen page views, might want to limit that to main pages or first or
last in a series.

this reply is echoed to the z-prophoto mailing list at yahoogroups where you
might find a lot of tips on portraiture lighting

The main concern is the scanning operation.
My flat bed scanner is not a gem and gives me pure white on high lights,
and on the shadows I have not a lot of details.

The prints are good, I use a lightmeter for portraiture for example,
and for most of my pictures. But the scan...
