I love working with studio photography. Experimenting new things with the strobes, backdrops, props, how the shadow looks. Its a blast and Im thankful to have a studio at my high school. This last week I upgraded. NEW CAMERA BABY!! Pretty much pumped on that right now. But on to the photos, for these photos, had the lighting on is some different spots. I first tried having the strobe above the backdrop shooting down, that didn’t work out super well. Next spot, under Brandon’s chair was pretty interesting, it gave the photo a pretty strong lighting balance. I used that for a while. I have a photo of the set up also so that is a helpful demonstration. With this assignment I tried to show the fun of portraits. Seriously, portraits are the most fun thing, it is a blast working with people. But studio photography is more of a challenge for me, maybe it is just struggle with lighting, not sure. But I still enjoy it a lot. I think it was a ton of fun working with the strobes in crazy places. An inspiration of mine was David Nightengale.

So I was doing some blog reading and this other guy(he’s pretty legit) posted like the exact opposite of what your wrote ruebenkrabbe.com/wordpress
I like both your and his shots and its crazy to think you guys are working in opposite ways but still both getting really cool stuff. Photographers are soo diverse
s6- you think you are so smart, geez. (eyeroll)
All right Steve-
Get back in there and take some business headshots. No extreme lighting, not funky effects, just a clean professional headshot of someone. At the risk of sounding rude (and you know how I hate to be rude)…. let me start back over.
I am happy that you are experimenting with the lights to see what they can do. I think that some people for this assignment went in and just used the lights exactly how they were set up and shot as is, you are playing around with them, that is great.
With that being said, I want to see that you can shoot with them in a controlled way, getting a classic portrait shot that is going to bring in the money. Business headshots are a huge revenue for photo studios. Show me that you can get this.
these are my favorite, i love portraits.
jeeze boy, you’re super talented.
