Hello all,
This past weekend, I was contacted by a friend of a friend to take portraits at a Downton Abbey themed birthday party for his wife. I have very, very little experience with portraits, but I reluctantly accepted. I bought a cheap background slave flash off of Amazon and used an on camera flash unit for fill and I'm pretty happy with the results. My job was to capture them quickly in front of a backdrop as they came into the party.
The one huge problem arose in the fact that the client bought a shiny backdrop to take portraits against. As you can see, there is a little bit of a glare on the background from the lights. I did my best to prevent this with an umbrella and by bouncing light, but I can't seem to shake it.
He was not bothered by it, but I am very bothered by it. Anyone have any tips or tricks to reduce it's noticeability? I would clone and stamp it out in PS, but I have 40 portraits and am not charging enough to process each one for more than 10-15 minutes. I'm trying to stick with Lightroom.
Any ideas at all will help immensely.
Thank you!
