Portrait Lighting, that is what it all about. There are so many ways to light a portrait. One of the simplest ways is to use light from a Northern window when it is cloudy outside. The light is soft and smooth. Here I positioned Abe, our 7 year old grandson at a 30 degree angle from the window to create a little shadow on the left side of his face. Of course this was not a studio shot where background is controlled, but far better than unplanned snapshot or with direct flash. I metered off his face and used AWB on the Canon EOS M with a 22mm lens (35mm focal length in film format). Enjoy, Jeff
This is really sweet. Great expression on his cute face and very nice lighting.
