I actually deliberately had him stand right there because they did give me just a little bit of fill because those were darker Originally I had David leaning against a part of the wall further back with lighter colored posters and they were giving too much fill -- which made it not as dark as I wanted on the shadow side of his face. I actually started to post one of the test shots I did of David with more fill light from having him by the lighter posters and explain that I had him stand in a specific spot for a reason, but I was running low on time and figured that would likely just be too much information. Anyway, kudos to you for picking up on it -- most people wouldn't.

Always enjoy seeing/reading about your work. <br />Gene Shearlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182018300346397942.post-40016668152402185252012-09-12T17:06:30.764-05:002012-09-12T17:06:30.764-05:00Thanks, Cat, and you're welcome.

Medium grey back ground several feet behind him that just went dark as I wanted it too. I don't usually carry around lights with me though, not unless I'm going to a job.<br /><br />KeithKeith Taylor Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887479142124878292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182018300346397942.post-84215793505376465772012-09-12T16:41:32.876-05:002012-09-12T16:41:32.876-05:00Beautiful work, Keith, as always!

Thanks for the run down, because my first thought was "How did he light that?" :) I have to ask tho, what kind of light/s are you carrying around with you?catnoreply@blogger.com
