The reversed Rembrandt triangle

/in , /by

Somehow people often think that proper lighting should always be placed in the front. However when we look even at nature you will see that it’s often not the case. Light will literally hit us from every side.

So when doing a setup for your model Photogaphy don’t always go for the light from the front. Move around your model or just place the light behind the model.

The think I always look for is that the eyes are clearly seen and I always try to create some sort of reverse Rembrandt triangle. Hitting the eyes and part of the cheek.

It’s not easy but when you master this it’s a very powerful lighting technique. I’ve discussed it in many of my videos which you van find on https://frankdoorhof.com/videos

In this sample you see the lighting setup used during a live shoot for Sony in studio 34x. The trick here was that I also had to change the direction of light to prevent it from hitting the reflective background. We call this feathering the light.

Tip : Just ask

/in , , /by

People often tell me that they saw amazing things and didn’t take a photo because they didn’t have the guts to ask.

Trust me on this one.

The worst that can happen is the answer “no”. No one will start screaming at you or kill you. Literally the worst that can happen is “no”

If you feel uncomfortable just start small. Ask some local shop owners if they mind having their picture taken. You will quickly find out that they often don’t mind. They even are willing to pose and give you the time to do so. Although some will say “no” I guess 80% will say “yes”.

So don’t miss those shots. Just ask.

The shot above was shot during a trip.

I just loved the little place and just asked the guy if I could take a shot. He didn’t even think about it. “Sure fellow”

Love the little tips?
