A portrait of Dick, an actor I photographed to update his headshots and general image portfolio. This shot was lit using all natural light with a reflector for fill. Behind him is overcast sky exposed through the side opening of a downtown parking garage to create the white background, which is reflected back at his face using a reflector. Photographed using an original Canon 5D with a Canon 85mm f/1.8 lens.
Spectacular portrait Daniel. Dis you do any in the same location with the reflector positioned above your subject? It would be an interesting comparison.

Thank you Derek.
I did not. If positioned from above there would have been very little light bouncing off the reflector to illuminate the model, as it would have been facing a concrete floor. It would also cause the brim of his hat to cast unwanted shadows over his eyes if it were to somehow reflect light on him from above.
