I haven’t taken a proper portrait for the better part of a decade. Sitting down for a few minutes and playing with light on a Sunday evening was an absolute delight. First of the 52 Frames project from 25004A is in the books. The theme this week is "Self-Portrait"
The Photo
I planned a quiet self-portrait while the kids were upstairs taking a bath. I had about 15 minutes to light, compose, and shoot this, so I opted for a simple, low-key portrait. Moments after I captured a few frames, my 4-year-old burst into the room eager to get on with the evening nighttime routine. Of course, the picture I took with him, with the only instruction being "Look tough," is my personal select.
Gridded 26" softbox high camera right and a snooted, too powerful rim light behind subject and camera left.
