Dietrich

April 12th, 2007 by Benji Mast

I decided to mess around with reflectors a little the other day. Basically I shot it with my lovely assistant (my sister, Kristi) holding a white cardboard box, in a patch of sunlight and directing some fill into the (your) left side of his face.

    Very cute! I love the way the sun lights up his blonde hair. Looks like it’s nice and warm there! It was snowing here last evening. You should get a white/gold Photoflex reflector. Those are really cool!

    Got a question. Why did you shoot wide open when you had plenty of light? Just curious. . .

    Bokeh, background blur, pleasing I think.

    Perhaps I should have stopped down to 2.2 - 2.8 or so. I think there might be some sharpness advantages in avoiding shooting all the way wide open.
