Lighting is everything!
Here's a quick headshot of Ella for a theater audition. We focused on a simple one-light setup using a Canon 85 mm f4 lens to beautifully accentuate her natural beauty and the lovely tone of her hair color! The entire session, from capture to editing, was done within the comfort of her own home in under an hour!
These photos were taken in a standard home environment featuring typical lighting conditions; however, neither setting had a particularly eye-catching or interesting background to work with. So, what to do in such a situation? Improvise! By utilizing high-speed sync, the ambient light in the room was significantly neutralized, which allowed me to enhance the subject with striking dramatic lighting complemented by soft strobe illumination. Both images were expertly shot using an 85mm Canon lens paired with a Canon R8. Ultimately, no shooting scenario is truly impossible; it simply requires a great deal of ingenuity and creativity when it comes to making the most of available lighting!
