A quick portrait of my son. I was playing with back lighting. My vision for this was a mysterious and dramatic B/W portrait. I wanted to emphasize the tattoo on his arm.

Love the rim light!

Thank you John!

Jacques, your use of rim lighting for separation is great, yet the focal point remains unclear as your subject’s brightly lit tattooed forearm commands much visual attention. Considering the subject’s masculine demeanor, it seems you were aiming for a dark, moody portrait. Adding a bit more fill light, or lighting a part of his face in an…Read More

I took this photo during one of @trompie-van-der-berg ‘s On Locaction Lighting workshops. I went for a more dark and dramatic B/W edit.

Close up B/W portrait. (Cropped close during editing). Impromptu portrait shoot in my small home studio. Due to a low ceiling, I could not get the height of the flash very high. Key light was an AD200 Pro and the hair light/fill light a Godox V860ii.

This one is a bit more recent. It was shot at a Studio Lighting course, where we all though Mike looked like a great model – I recon the shot came out ok 🙂

A well executed portrait of Mike, but for a character portrait where the emphasis is on expression and facial features, a tighter crop could be more effective. Reducing the space above and below his face would draw more attention to his expressions and the nuances of his character. Regarding the watermark, while it’s important…Read More

This portrait of Michaela was shot in the old Kimera studio. I had done a few courses and was really starting to enjoy the Black and White genre. Jenna did the make up and hair, and too this day I recon this is one of my favourite shots of Michaela 🙂

This portrait of Minnette was published full-page in the “Hotshots” section of Digital Camera World Magazine in 2008. I photographed it less than two years after starting photography as a hobby. I used a 1000-watt continuous light through a huge softbox. That light was so hot, it warmed up the whole house! But it taught me a lot about lighting,…Read More

John, your subject is blending into the brick wall background. This is a common issue, especially with red/orange-toned bricks that closely match the tone of Caucasian skin. Additionally, the texture of the bricks makes it hard to distinguish the subject. To improve, consider moving your subject away from the backdrop or using a…Read More
