Daily Dose of Art -- February 28, 2011



Well I think I'm closing out of February with a bang.  I did shoots on back to back days and I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out.  I was able to shoot my friend Kevin Ochs this afternoon and played around a lot of different lights and lighting techniques.  I was able to get an interesting lens flare in this shot by placing the flash behind his head and using soft lights in front of him and this is the final product.  What do you think?

  1. I like this. I'm not up on any of the photography terms - but this looks like it has texture to it. It looks believable, if that makes sense.

  2. Thanks Kristyn. Actually this shot was not photoshopped at all. I was able to get what I think you are getting at by placing the flash behind his body which illuminated a lot of details in a unique way. For example, the lights and specs to the left side of his face are the lens flare and dust particles in the air. Doing this definitely added some interesting texture to the picture.
