Lighting Tests
Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3!
A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it."
– Edward Steichen
I’ve found that people are often much more comfortable in front of the camera in the unguarded moments before we officially start. I often ask them to hold my light meter for a Lighting Test to help ease them into the session. I love how these lighting test portraits reveal something fun and engaging about each person.
