The\u00a0idea was to create a simple natural-looking portrait. The model is an actress and I hope these photographs will be a strong accent in her portfolio.<\/p>\n

1\/80 s, f\/1.6, ISO 100, 50 mm<\/p><\/div>\n

I shot these images in a bar and used mostly ambient light with a little fill from a small softbox.<\/p>\n

1\/80 s, f\/2.5, ISO 2000, 85 mm<\/p><\/div>\n

\"tomasz-bobrzynski-photography-2012--3\"

1\/160 s, f\/2.5, ISO 100, 135 mm<\/p><\/div>\n

For the above photo I lit the model with a single speedlight in a\u00a0medium size Lastolite\u00a0softbox.<\/p>\n

\"tomasz-bobrzynski-photography-2012--4\"

1\/200 s, f\/4, ISO 100, 135 mm<\/p><\/div>\n

Here I used a white shoot-through umbrella and a silver reflector for fill in a butterfly configuration (note the catchlights in her eyes).<\/p>\n

1\/200 s, f\/4, ISO 100, 135 mm<\/p><\/div>\n

For the last photo I used the softbox again. To add tonal transitions to the walls I lit them with a second speedlite pointed to the corner behind the model.<\/p>\n

Initially this background light gave a spot which was too hot for my taste. To tone it down I used a Sto-Fen diffuser and covered the diffuser’s front surface with a piece of Gaffer’s tape.<\/p>\nA Simple Portrait<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
