Another Portrait
by Josh Hed

This is another portrait of my youngest daughter. This time I used a 300w bulb (on the left) and shined it through a piece of
rip stop nylon to get a diffused look. I filled the right side with a 150w bulb using the white tag board setup from before.

You can see the original untouched image here.

Look at her! I think every photo of this girl is great :-)

Thanks for the comment Jack. In all honesty, I did "clean her up" a little bit. I don't usually give much notice before I recruit them to be photographed so there's no real primping done ahead of time. :) Here is the original shot with eye gunk and spit shine! :)

What a wonderfully done portrait. The lighting is excellent and the skin tone so natural. I love the pose, again so natural. Not to diminish your effort, but it would be hard to take a bad picture of such a lovely little girl.

That's great Josh. Your work and practicing is really paying off. Wonderful photo!

Beautifully done, Josh. But, while the lighting is wonderful in this, the subject really takes the show :-)....Sara
