Outdoor Portrait Lighting





     In this photo is Karl standing beneath a tree that has old shoes hanging in it's branches. In the foreground is Karl, middleground is the tree, and the background is of the sky and a few larger trees. The emphasis is more on the tree rather than Karl. The tree's different textures contributes to its emphasis. There is a lot of line and movement due to the branches of the trees.
     The tree signifies Karl's life and each branch represents a path. I personally liked this photo, however I do not think it followed the assignment. The purpose of this assignment was to "soften" the lighting on Karl. However, the scrim was broken and I was unable to use it and used a bounce board instead, not really "softening," or having much effect at all.
