available Light 85mm
shooting backstage with my 85mm at f1.4 in available light
for backstage work i'm always trying to simplify the way i take pictures so scoping out the nice light in any situation is one of my top priorities, instead of relying on the flash 
instead of using a reflector tucked under the chin to fill light, i move the model to a makeup table where he light arranged around the mirror acts like a square flash, even lighting all around 
this one is side lit from the light from a makeup table i also blured this more in photoshop for added effect

and this is why I know nothing about photography...
If this was shot at 1.4 how did you manage to keep the models face all in focus? When I shot at 1.4 it is such a shallow depth of field that I can't fill the frame like this.  Andrew
Nikon D3 and lot's of Nikon stuff!!
hi
depth of field is relative to distance im at 85mm liek 105mm on a d2x im far away from the model further you are away depth of field increases and these are small images too the original file shows much more shallow blur just outside the focused area Wendell Levi Teodoro

nice shots wendell
I like the last one (she is cute) but there is a shadow or something in the corner of her right eye that is distracting and the whites of her eyes could be just that... a little more white
Oh I also like the last one... although the lipstick on one of them i scaring me... lol...
As always brilliant work...  The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list...
Nice use of the light Wendel. Light is everything in photography and you are sensitive to the 4 main elements....direction, intensity, colour and quality. I'm amazed at how quickly you have learnt to see and then exploit those characteristics...it takes most many many years.

I'm a fan of the last one too! Nice work Wendell!

Is there a law against smiling if you are a model?
