p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Another Portrait in the Dorm


Here's a new shot. No makeup, no fancy hairdo, no anything. Shot with a silver reflector, bouncing fluorescent light up from below her face.

I know that focus is not perfect, I have to work on that, but I shot this REALLY quickly and I kind of like the light. The shadowy areas around the right side of her face make it interesting to me.

Still waiting on a part to fix my flash, so just working with what I have. Any general comments/critiques are more than welcomed.

D7000 and Rokinon 85mm ƒ1.4 into Lightroom for a BW conversion, some slight dodge and burning and adjustments.



ƒ/1.8, 85.0 mm, 1/500, ISO 400

Two thoughts -

1. Don't shoot quickly - it might have something to do with your results (focus).

2. Did you need all that shallow DOF? What were you trying to blur?

I like the setup and the hair making a partial frame around her face.

Looks like a mug shot from the Auburn prison!
You owe her another session and do a better job.
