Stunning lowlight image, John! Thank you for contributing to our October theme. Your choice of settings shows me that you are indeed in complete control of your camera, and you fully understand your subject’s behaviour. Two key points when it comes to photographing birds in low light. I particularly enjoy the fact that you framed the Heron with…Read More

In this photo, Charles C. Ebbets stands high above New York City with a bulky camera in hand. He looks cool and confident, even in a situation that would make most of us dizzy. He’s known for taking risks to get the perfect shot, and this picture shows that spirit perfectly.
How far would you go to get the photo you want?

Fujifilm X-T3. Fujinon 50 – 140mm F/2.8, SS: 1/250s, Ap: F/8.0. Split lighting used for dramatic effect.#portraitphotography #portrait #StudioLighting #OffCameraFlash #FlashPhotography

The split lighting is perfect, and the separation between your subject’s right shoulder and the backdrop is well-executed. We would have liked to see a bit more of your subject’s face, and the head might be better if not as tilted. Overall, a well-executed low-key portrait.

Thank you. I really appreciate the critique. I will pay attention to the points mentioned in future shoots.

Have you considered cropping just above the knee to give your subject more impact by making them appear larger? We’d also prefer a softer transition of the backdrop towards the right side. Fortunately, this is an easy fix in Lightroom.

Thanks! I think the shot already looks better. 🙂

We like the red cap. How about cropping from the bottom to emphasise her face and expression?

Great Idea, I will share the crop once done 🙂

Let me know what you think.

Perfect

I love this picture. It’s not nearly as risky as ‘Lunch Atop a Skyscraper,’ but I wonder what health and safety experts would say today about 30 models posing on window frames and a photographer hanging from a fire escape.
