Location Lighting Practice

Lesson learned: A reflector to the right would have brightened the shadows on his face.

Lesson learned: Don't be afraid of direct light.
Kent Miller helped set up this shot.

Things learned:

• Gold reflectors are your best friend. They give a sunshine color!

• Teammates are great. More heads=more possibilities and more ideas to improve the shot.

• Put your strobes on Manual. Better control!

• Ask passers-by to model; it's surprising how many people will do it if you look like a pro.

• Ask your teacher for help! There's a reason he's the teacher and we're the students. He knows what we're doing wrong.

PS, thanks teammates Meagan, Brooke and Brady! We rock.
