Profiling

Janelle had chosen this as one of her favorites, so I decided to upload it here. This happened to be back-lit, so I had to use my flash. A reflector would also work, but I hate to carry another thing around. If the reflector isn't used right, it sometimes looks more flashy than a flash that is turned down, reflected off of a card or is diffused- I use a plastic ball, by Gary Fong. It looks strange, but I love it. Just a soft light, no hard shadows. Also, make sure the face has a solid surface behind it. She has a beautiful profile and the light in her hair was great.
