p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Raining flowers - my first backlit portrait attempt.


I had an improvised photoshoot today - nothing fancy, just called a model and we agreed we'd shoot at the park.
I will post some of the pictures later. After it got dark I put a strobe on a stand behind her, we picked some flowers from a tree and my friend, who was holding the reflector, had to throw the flowers over her. Needless to say it took us more than an hour and quite a few attempts to get some result, but there it is. I know the lighting could've been better and I hope I can get some advice.

Hi Sasho,

You have a wonderful "glow" in #1, and it's missing from #2. #2 would be my favorite, if you could get that "glow" in the image!

#3 is really good, but I would suggest cropping out the grass.

Thanks. I do like #2 the best too, but it actually was a test image withou the flowers in it. I made a composite out of #1 and #2 but during the masking process I might have lost the "glow"

Agree about #3 - will do.

Edit :
There it is. The best I could do for tonight, I'm going to bed. I've put the edited images in the original post.

I did another attempt on making a composite from images #1 and #3
