What we do when it’s raining outside and we don’t feel like getting wet to make a photograph? That’s when we transform our living room into a photography studio.
With a little inspiration from a few 1940’s images, we decided to play with lighting to achieve the same glamorous style from that time period.
1940’s photographs use at least three lights; a main light, a fill light and a hair light. We only used two lights; a hot-shoe flash with a 40 degree grid as the main light and an unmodified hot-shoe as a rim light. This is how the images came out.
There is some what of an advantage when it comes to making a great portrait in our house. I have a beautiful wife that is willing to redo her hair and makeup to be the model for some of the little lighting projects we want to do.
Love it! Jamie is so gorgeous inside and out. You guys are so fun!
