I bought a white fabric and hung it from by backdrop stand. I put studio lights behind the fabric. Lyn Marie was on the floor of my studio so we would get a bit of her reflection on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>My camera was right on the floor so I was flat on the floor so I could see through the camera.<\/p>\n<p>The only tricky thing about creating this image (other than the pose) was the exposure. I set the studio lights and camera aperture to give me an exposure compensation of the fabric of around +3 or +4. I wanted to totally burn out the lighted fabric so the light would spill over Lyn Marie.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back lighting isn&#8217;t the usual way to do portraits, so it provides a nice change of pace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,10,26,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lighting","category-metering","category-photographs","category-techniques"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27287"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27287\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27289,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27287\/revisions\/27289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
