The third and final installment of this series.
(You can read part one HERE and part two HERE.)
You may recall in part two I utilized a lighting technique called split lighting. This type of lighting splits the face into equal halves with one side being in the light, and the other in shadow.
For part three, I decided to face my subject towards the light 100%. I wanted to achieve soft, bright & even light.
We are using the larger piece of foam board for the background. We are using the smaller piece for …. a man made breeze!
This is the result:

First of all, I LOVE this image!
Second of all, I love sharing it because you would never know she was in pajama pants on my front porch with her big sister waiving a foam board in her face – which of course resulted in this fabulous grin!

Time for big sis to step into the wind zone …

I love the soft, flowy feel to this image. I wish I had unpinned her bangs – probably would have resulted in more hair movement.
And lastly, we stopped the wind and used that same piece of foam board as a reflector placed to her right waist area (you can see it in her eyes if you look closely)

Mmmmm love those freckles. Mmmmm I dig the light in this image so much.
If this was a paying client I would probably remove some of the redness from her eyes. If I print it I will!
