[QUOTE="Iman60, post: 794940, member: 7998"] I have always been a huge supporter/subsriber to natural window light. It is not always as easy as one might imagine, but it just takes some getting used to. Photographer talk about how you have to have balanced light, fill flash, reflectors and so on. but in my opinion such a practice introduces an unnatural flatness, an almost lifeless perfection to the subject. Ok so before all you advertising and portrait geeks go off and get your pants all in a wad... consider this. It is about individual and subjective interpretation of a subject. I will be teh first to agree that thee are many situations, where controlled lighting and subject environement is essential, but there are also times, and places, where you just have to step outside the box and create according to what is in your heart. Shelby is a model whom I just love to work with. She is also a photographer as well as a model. And so she can fall into the role, once I explain to her what I want to do. In this case... as follows.. I used a D80 with 400 ISO setting, in cam BW with a green filter and natural window light.
