    A lighting challenge

    I see, still my remarks remain valid.

    A lighting challenge

    Probably best to sort composition first. Find a better place to shoot it. I think it's too cramped on the shallow shelf with the picture frame only just above too. I'd be tempted to lay the book down, see a profile with some pages too. It'll be a compromise between viewing the text and the...

    Beginner How this is lit

    Correct, note the triangle of light under the left eye. Can't go wrong, always looks good when done well. :)

    Beginner How this is lit

    Possible that it was just the 2 lights. Looks like a heavy vignette has been applied, the hand holding the photo is defo in the light but largely toned back. Background light may just have been incidental. From the catch light in the eyes you can see one main light high right and one fill as...

    We all have bills to pay. Fair play to you. Shame, I think the "REAL WORLD' definitely still has space for people to care about where their work ends up and who they do business with. :-)

    Sounds like it's near impossible to fulfil the criteria to get a dataco licence nowadays then? I nearly set off down that route but realised early on it wasn't going to be worth the time and effort money wise... Stick to National League (or lower!) I say, do it for fun... I gave a pic to...

    Back in the game...

    Hi everyone, After a good 6 months at least break from sports photography, I'm going to head out to some footy this weekend. I guess I kind of lost the spark for it for a while. I'm actually really excited to get back pitch side this weekend now. I guess I got a little bit bored of going to...

    Just two questions....

    Hopefully I can offer some useful advice as someone who has held a national league licence and has done some work for agencies. As well as just shooting for fun as I actually enjoy it! You need a licence to shoot the football league and premier league, these are covered by dataco, you need to...
