Self Portrait Assignment

Welcome back to Assignment Wednesday! I really want to see some of your self-portraits and how they turned out. The hardest part of this assignment was finding the correct focus while using the camera's automatic timer. Once I got that down, I fired off about 10 or so shots. Here's the one I kept:



I took this in my garage as I don't really have many places in my house that you wouldn't see toys in the background! I used two strobes, one at a 45* angle in front of me shooting through a Tri-Grip diffuser and one on the same line behind me for a back light. I fired the lights with the SU800 commander. I also used a white reflector to camera left to fill in some of the shadow side of my face. The blue circle on the floor was my mark. Here's a setup picture:



Anyway, that's it for this week. Please comment with your picture from this assignment.

One of my favorite subjects to shoot is my kids! They are so fun and are always coming up with new, funny expressions. Find a kid who will let you take their picture this week (make sure you know them!!!).
