I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.
‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.

Window light

Window light is some of the best lighting in the world.
It is soft, it’s magical, and best of all, it is free. Find a scene lit only by window light and see what you can do with it. Take a portrait by window light. Or just let the light wash over a classic “bowl of fruit” still life. No matter what, you will learn why photographers have been relying on window light for years to create beautiful images.

Green dress

Test shots. Green dress, manual focus lenses. Used here: mamiya 80mm on a tilt/shift adapter, lensbaby 2.0 with 4-5.6 aparture ring. 32″octabox without a diffusion on a boom. Just can’t seem to get it perfectly strait and symmetrical to fake that beauty dish look a bit better.

Grandparents

Wannabe location scouting

I had this great idea today. It was about doing some location scouting and testing the gear all in one go. Turns out She wasn’t so much into it, as you can probably tell from the pictures :) Nevertheless, got some good test shots and tried out my 32″ octabox without a diffusion.
