Outdoor Flash

1. Make a portrait where the person’s face and the background are the same exposure.

2. Make a portrait where the person’s face is exposed one stop under and the background is normally exposed.  Drop the power of the strobe by one stop keeping the f stop the same.
3. Make a portrait where the person’s face is normally exposed and the background is one stop under.
4. Make a portrait where the person’s face is normally exposed and the background is two stops under.



All four should be photographed in exactly the same place to make it earier to compare the results.

Size Matter

Take two portraits of a person one with the 21" Beauty Dish and one with the Octabank and get the same results by using the placement of the subject, the light and the background. Look at results from class demonstration for ideas.

One Strobe and a Softbox

Photo 1
Using one strobe with a softbox, light a person against a white background so that their face has a highlight and shadow side. 
The background should appear darker on the highlight side and the lighter on the shadow side.

Photo 2
Using one strobe with a softbox, light a person against a white background so that their face is evenly lit and the background is black.

3 Light Hollywood Portrait

Using classic Rembrandt light (45 to side 45 up) create a portrait with key , fill 2 stops under exposed and backlight. Check the class blog under Lesson 4 to see how it should be laid out.

Using three lights invent your own formula.
