Portrait Redux

 I took my sister's photos around 2 p.m. in the HCC. At that point in the afternoon, the light I was working with was entering in the windows from the north. There was not a lot of light coming in from anywhere else - due to the awning - yet the light (as Eric mentioned) appeared as the same basic light we had during class. I shot two models as well. I used the male model more as a test subject; playing with settings and angles during class time. I brought my sister to campus when I felt comfortable with the lighting and angles; ready to capture the essence of the assignment. I did struggle to get a quality Rembrandt on my models' faces. I do feel that both sets of photos capture the current story of my subjects, but the relationship difference from shooting a friend to a family member changed my approach in conducting the shoot. Blood is thicker than water, so the photos of the sis better turn out perfect or I will definitely hear about it later... . As I think about setting up the frame for the two models, I paid more attention to the rule of thirds. Composition and lighting were also taken into consideration because it was crunch time for the assignment and I knew my sister's portraits would used for my post.
