Week #4 - Mermaid and the Fisherman
by Laura Milholland

San Rafael, CA

Grandson's 9 month portrait - this one with big sister posing as his extra special 'catch'!
Light was almost entirely bounce flash - controlling reflections off the shiny plastic backdrop was a real challenge.

1/160s f/8.0 at 26.0mm iso800

Very nice. It looks like Rembrandt lighting on the mermaid's face.

Lots of set up work for this photo, but obviously worth it. The kids both look good. Nice expressions. Pretty set up. No shiny background at all. You did well. Very effective use of flash.

Could Felicity walk in that outfit?
