DIRECTIONAL LIGHTING

Dear reader, if this entry or my other blog entries don't answer your specific photography questions, you can call me on the phone anytime for advice by clicking here.

One way to create strong dramatic portraits is to use one single overhead light. This will create deep shadows under the eyebrows, and will accentuate strongly defined bone structures. In normal portraiture this style is usually not welcomed, but for fashion and fine art shoots, it will work nicely.

These are mannequins that I photographed a few years ago in New York city.
