Light and shadow

    Experimenting with my latest purchase. An SB-600 speedlight used off camera. Got Sean to stand on his bed after hanging the darkest bedclothes I could find off the curtain rail as a backdrop.

    Placed the flash to the side of him on a tripod and hung a piece of toilet roll over it to diffuse the light a bit.

    Then switched off the light in his bedroom and took the shot in complete darkness. Bit of work in PS with levels and exposure and sharpening.

    I can’t decide which one I like best….though I am veering towards the darker version

    Opinions, critiques and suggestions very welcome.

    I like them both but am leaning towards the lighter one as the shadow on the cheek of the darker one is annoying me a little lol but great use of light and shadows

    Prefer the first shot. Second one is too much for my liking. Also, the hair seems to look interesting with the light reflections, could make good use out of it with proper light and shadow perhaps ;)

    Well done both shots are good but i prefer the first one. Try burning out cloths on dark side so the the light vrs dark carries through to the body too. You could also try to turn model a bit but too late for that now!
