Perfect Portrait #2

In this photo my model was meant to take a laughing photo and it turned out actually really natural looking, which is just what I was going for. She looks very happy and carefree. What I really enjoy about this photo is that even though the model I used is already beautiful, this photo makes her look even prettier with the range of colours that are present. Her hair is perfectly placed and everything is in focus. The lighting in this picture is different compared to the other two photos I have because as you can see there are dark spots under her eyes and around her smiling mouth. I think that those shadows really help make the photo because they add depth and more detail into it. There is some shadows on the right side of her face but I kind of like it because it gives an effect and doesn't make it look plain. Another thing that I also like about this photo is that it looks like she's looking at someone that's making her laugh, how she's looking up and into the distance and the way I positioned her to the right side of the picture.

  • small lamp light shining about 1.5 meters away from the right side of her face a bit in front of her
  • regular light shining from the left side of her face about 1 meter away from her
  • light source from the bottom behind her to remove all shadows from behind
  • giant light source coming from the top left side of her about 1m away
