I made my mum and sister sit for me while at home for the weekend. I bought a cheapo diffuser to go on my speedlight, which I had off camera to the right - 45deg ish. I don't think the diffuser is particularly good as the light wasn't as soft as I'd have liked it, but I did only spend £10 on it
Frustratingly most shots were front focused so I had some tack-sharp fringes I don't know if that's user error or whether I need to fine-tune the af. Next time I will shoot at f/4 or 5.6 as there's no background to blur. Rookie error I feel.
Any feedback on lighting, editing, posing etc. would be greatly appreciated as I've not really used flash much and never in this controlled 'studio' (dining room) setting.
Thanks,
Tom
