Day 21: Jackie

I've known Jackie for a pretty long time, so I felt more comfortable asking her to pose in her own space, and to take my time getting something that better represents her. This is her actual unposed smile, and not a pose. The lesson I learned here is that having white walls can pose a challenge if you like moody lighting, like I apparently do. There is a speedlight with a circular diffuser just above her face, and a second speedlight with a FlashBender and diffusion panel to her left. That one is there to add some fill to the left side of her face, and to lighten the shadows on the wall behind her.

Jackie talks with her hands, or pencil, as the case may be

She was very patient and caught me up on all her goings on while I adjusted flash power and position.

I'm partial to the more candid shots.
