Not really anything special, but a really hard job to do. Very hard. Anyway, the first family portrait I've done. I'd like to get more creative with these, but this was on assignment so.. *shrug*

I'll prolly move this into my scraps soon enough.

Next time set them up against a plain wall to keep the background clean. Sometimes that cabinet in the background is what makes the difference between professional and holiday looking photo.

Lighting is the hardest part though, a well placed reflector (big piece of white paper would do) can make a huge difference to the feel of the image.

Good luck with your assignment

actually, a plain wall is a bad idea for an in house photo, because you misewell just take them to the studio.

This was lit with 4 profoto lights, so I had a fill light and no need for a reflector.

The only really hard thing was that A. There were no plain walls in their house, and B. It wasa horribly horrible mess. Also, the two children were really uncooperative. Making that stove in the backround look like the only real bad problem is pretty much a major accomplishment for me, lol.

It's a stove. I originally had them standing up and there was a big black line through the middle of the image, lol. Their house was a lot smaller than even the one studio bay I'm used to shooting in. Great people, but not the best place for a photo.

I thought the idea of using a plain wall at home was to avoid paying to use a studio but still getting that professional look :o Here you've got a very distraction floor line and cabinet in my opinion ^^;

As for the lighting what directions did you use? I'd use it from bottom right to reduce the eye shadows and deeper shadows in general giving everyone a nicer look :D

But erm... you probably know better than me anyway so I'll be quiet now.

Well, if I used it from bottom right it would have a weirder shadow look from the noses and from the people on the right. I lit it much like I would in studio.

Part of the assignment was to show that they were IN a home, which is why I did it as I did. It isn't very good, I know, but my options were limited. You're right about the distraction of the lines, etc.

Don't be quiet, I appreciate people taking time to leave actual feedback. Don't assume I know better than you, I'm trying not to be defensive ^^;

Yea. Some times we have to make do.

Have you ever done any stage work? I've been doing a lot of it as of late... it's a whole new challenge.

Some of it is here: [link]

I did shoot a concert recently, but I used a flash unit.
