PHO5598: Assignment 9
>> Tuesday, January 11, 2011
Assignment 9 was a little difficult for me to distinguish from my other photos as it was all about diffused or bounced flash. I say this because it is very rare that I use direct flash so almost any of my small flash portraits could have been used for this assignment. I ended up submitting the two below photos. The first was shot with the flash in an umbrella setup. The flash was bounced off the white umbrella and onto the subject. The second photo was shot using the small flash attached to the camera and using a diffuser on it while also bouncing it off of the white ceiling above the subject. Diffusing or bouncing the light often enables you to soften the light up which can be harsh and unflattering otherwise. As always, these photos can be found on Flickr as well.
PHO5598: Assignment 8

Assignment 8 was another small flash assignment – specifically small flash while doing an environmental portrait. I like environmental portraits as it shows the subject in their surroundings (environment). These photos can be found on Flickr as well. 
PHO5598: Assignment 7
>> Friday, January 7, 2011
Fill Flash was used for most of the remaining assignments. In this assignment we were to use it as Fill Flash in an outdoor photo. Chris came down for a few days last month and stayed with Dave and I. On the first day she was hear we ploughed through my assignments and the majority of them turned out quite nicely. The first photo below is the traditional use of fill-flash where the lighting on background and the subject are balanced with the use of a small flash. The second photo shows the technique sometimes called day-to-night where the flash and background lighting are not balance producing a darker background and therefore giving the feeling of haven taken the shot at night. The photos can be found on Flickr as well. 
PHO5598: Three Quarter Portrait
>> Sunday, December 12, 2010
One of my latest assignments is a small flash assignment – three quarter portrait to be precise. The assignment was to do three quarter portrait in both broad (lit side of the face is towards the camera) and short (shadow side of the face is towards the camera) lighting. As she is in town for a few days, Chris was my lovely model. We did a couple different poses, but the fan series seen below is my personal favourite.
