Studio lighting with style and elegance<\/h1>\n

The title here might be presumptuous –\u00a0studio lighting with style and elegance – but it is a good summary for the intent I had in lighting a series of portraits for a client. Unfussy lighting that highlighted our subjects – women. Specifically, women over the age of 55. This is\u00a0part of a collaboration with\u00a0Brynn Hudson jewelry<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 portrait photography\u00a0which\u00a0focuses on the many faces and personalities of women.<\/p>\n

I posted a selection of my favorite photos\u00a0on my One Perfect Moment blog:\u00a0Accomplished \u2013 Portraits of strong women<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But let’s\u00a0discuss the lighting and other aspects about the photo shoot in the studio here:<\/p>\n

As I mentioned, I wanted the lighting to be flattering and ‘unfussy’, I thought that a simpler style of lighting would work better with a variety of people in front of the camera – then it wouldn’t be necessary to tweak the lighting between setups. The large light source would also give us leeway in posing in that we wouldn’t have to pose with such specific precision as you would have to for a more dramatic light source. What I wanted was just that – lighting that complemented the\u00a0style and elegance my client had in mind.<\/p>\n
