Jonathan - {Las Vegas Senior Photography, Utah Senior Photographer}
Photography is not just about snapping a shutter. There is sooo much that goes in to a great photo. And possibly one of the most important elements is lighting. Lighting can make or break an image. Every Master Photographer that has ever lived all had one thing in common - they all had a clear understanding of light, and how to find and manipulate it to their purposes.
For a long time I have been working with only one light, and it worked very well for me. But I am a HUGE fan of light, and I always wanted a little more. Earlier this year I was able to acquire more lights, so of course I started thinking of ways I could use them:-)
I wanted to try some really dramatic lighting, and happily my brother-in-law Jonathan was a willing model. Jonathan is a Senior at Basic High School in Henderson, NV. He has always been really big in to running, and has done very well. Me, I am NOT a runner, but I admire those who do. It takes a lot of work and discipline to keep going! He is also an incredibly talented musician, so doing night shots out in the desert with his guitar was really fun.
Overall, I think this experience taught me a little more about the nature of light, and how I can manipulate it just a little more. Since doing this session, I have been able to use my multiple light set-up for many other sessions, and I have loved how they have all turned out.
Here are some from my session with Jonathan. Please tell me what you think!
This last image I created as an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image. I wanted to really bring out all the details, and I loved the artistic feel with this particular image.
