SISTER
Last Sunday, Aneila and I had dinner with my parents. My sister, Micah, is finished with school for the summer, so she was there too. She asked me to take a photo of her, so I figured why not practice? Being unable to dictate the schedule for wedding days leaves the lighting situation at the mercy of the bride and groom. It’s critical to be able to work with all types of light. The high noon sun is one of the most difficult for me.
What I have found is that shade can really make a difference. Making sure not to venture too far into the forest (otherwise skin starts to turn green or more pale), I place the subject under a tree full of leaves. The result is a very diffused, even type of lighting for the skin, and some awesome bokeh in the background slipping through the leaves!
