soft.....soft.....soft.....


Soft lighting. I shot our friend Crystal using very soft, reflected light and I am really happy with the end result. I used the Boutwell's Totally Rad Actions to help me "touch up" the portrait. Although at weddings its kind of difficult to set up an umbrella to shoot soft-light photos like these (because of the limited time, limited space, etc. etc), I'll be trying to incorporate some portraits like this in future weddings. They have a very "studio portrait" feel, but in reality all I used was a $75 nikon strobe and a $30 umbrella. I think that's why I like it so much! :)

NOTE: PLEASE HELP........I need everyone's help out there. I"m trying to get a better idea of how my blog posts look on YOUR MONITOR. Are they too dark, do they look "good" to you, too bright? The thing is, I have two monitors, which are supposedly calibrated, but I've noticed that on one, my blog photos look kind of "dark". So, as I'd like my work to look as good as possible on your monitor, i have to find some common ground between everyone's monitors.....that's where i need your help.....PLEASE leave me some feedback in the comments section and note whether the photo looks good to you or kinda dark. Just because I think the photos look great on my monitor, it doesnt mean that's what you are seeing! Help me try to figure this out.....thanks again!


I love the grain and the intensity of the eyes here. Also, check out that near perfect skin!! Very nice!
