“Acacia”
- Shot on a Nikon d40 in a laneway in Fremantle
- Aperture: f/5.6
- ISO: 400
- Shutter speed: 1/160
This photo was taken midday in a thin laneway with high walls, creating an akward position for lighting. However, bright, direct sunlight was shining through the left side of lane. I used a gold reflector to bounce the direct sunlight onto the model standing in the shade. The gold reflector also casted a warm light on my model, while the tall walls of the lane worked as a diffuser of the harsh midday sun.
I edited the photo in Camera Raw and Photoshop, adding clarity, contrast and sharpness, while using dodge and burn tools to enhance shadows and light in my models face. I’m pleased with the photo, but if I was to take it again I would have more distance between the model and background.
