Self Portrait

Ok, so what better way to study and understand lighting than to work it on yourself right.  Right!!!  Although I can get a lot of what I am trying to accomplish working with Gromit the Boxer Dog, it is the shadows on the face, the skin tones and the over all look that just doesn't always work with the fur kid.  Gotta love him though.  He just laid down next to the tripod and signed when I told him to go...
Even then he got a treat!


Here I was working with a single light source about 45º to camera right and a white reflector on my phyiscal right...your left.  I had two strobes set up on the background, blocked both of those from reflecting back on myself.  Still need to perfect the all white background.
