This is an example of cross lighting which creates nice contours and shadows. There is one light to her left and one to her right, almost directly opposite each other.

Adler is a stunning portrait photographer. I discovered her work a few years ago, and her book, <em>The Photographer&#8217;s Guide to Posing<\/em>,<em> Techniques to Flatter Everyone<\/em>, is on my bookshelf. If portrait photography is your thing, this book is a must read.<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_28537\" style=\"width: 477px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/210309-LIndsay-Adler-Photography-Gels-2a-w7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28537\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28537\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/210309-LIndsay-Adler-Photography-Gels-2a-w7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"467\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/210309-LIndsay-Adler-Photography-Gels-2a-w7.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/210309-LIndsay-Adler-Photography-Gels-2a-w7-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-28537\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Portrait Using Colored Gels by Lindsay Adler, Uploaded to Adler&#8217;s web site May 2020.<\/p><\/div>\r\n<p>It was like <i>deja vu<\/i> when I saw this gorgeous portrait by Adler. The lighting and pose is a work of art. I didn&#8217;t know about Lindsay Adler when I created my portrait of Lela Rae, but I like to think I was channeling her work back then anyway. I have certainly benefited from her book, blog articles, and videos. When I grow up I want to create images like Lindsay Adler.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Links<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/?p=30726\">Channeling My Inner . . .<\/a> the link to this series of articles<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindsayadlerphotography.com\/index\">Lindsay Adler Photography<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindsayadlerphotography.com\/index\/G00009Gwtt1T1f1k\">Lindsay Adler &#8211; Editorial Beauty<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.lindsayadlerphotography.com\/blog\/\">Lindsay Adler &#8211; Blog<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/?p=27630\">Excellent &#8220;How To Photograph People&#8221;\u009d Books<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>My favorite books on people and portrait photography, including Lindsay Adler&#8217;s book, are in <a href=\"https:\/\/store.jimdoty.com\/home\/photography-books\/excellent-people-photography-books\/\">this section of my Amazon powered photography store<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was working in the studio with the beautiful Lela Rae.
