Hello Everybody!
This is my first post on this forum, I hope you're all doing well and safe in the current climate we live in.
Please let me know what you think about these photos I took of my boy in his new school uniform. I used one light with a transfuser umberalla (I think that's what it's called?), with a portable backdrop.
Although I am quite proud of the outcome, it's my first go and I'd quite like some feedback on things to improve.
My observations:
1) I would like to add a second light, mainly for the background to eliminate all shadow at the back. I would like to achieve that studio look where it's a white background. I quickly learnt to move my son away from the backdrop which helped a lot, but I feel you can't totally eliminate the shadows with just one light. The main reason I use one light is that is what I've read a lot of. "When beginning, just use one light"
2) The backdrop is creased. I've read online that you can steam them out? I assume trying to use a normal iron is a bad idea?
Thank you all, I really look forward to our discussions and learning more.
Steve
