Studio, Portrait, Still Life, Lighting Equipment and Technique Continuous and Strobe Lighting. (The Sun is considered continuous!) Great ideas are really ten a penny! Technique in setting up the subject is, of course, essential. However, the ability to bring out form, texture, tonality and color is where the skill in lighting provides all the keys to engraving one's ideas on the delivered picture. |

![]() ![]() I usually visit the pride festival a couple of hours before the parade starts, as there are no public there then, so one can shoot the participants more freely. Last edited by Asher Kelman; January 12th, 2018 at 09:17 PM. |

Yes, he does look like. he's an academic photographer of renown! Here in Los Angeles, gay pride festivals require you bring your camera! Everyone dresses up just for that! No need to ask permission folk pose if you turn towards them, and the smile gets bigger if you happen to have a camera. Asher

This is so great. I really like such shots. Can you please share details of capturing such shots like what setting are required, ISO, etc.

Thank you.
I use 1.8 or 2.8 for portraits as I am obsessed with DOF =), and I alos like to use a handheld transparent umbrella with a speedlite in it. I have an old 5d II and mostly use a 85mm. This was a little special in post as when converting to black and white it did not look the way I wanted, so I used my strange "develop" method. I start by adding three Multiply Layers so everything is almost completely dark, and then I start painting in the masks starting to reveal everything bit by bit, to a lightness level of my choice. Here is the Dodge and Burn layer and the three Multiply layers. Its a bit time consuming, but I like to see the image grow from nothing. ![]() |

But how did you get the grainy texture?

I checked the original as my memory is weak =), and its rather clean ( maybe a little in the blurred parts, but not that visible even in 100% view ) So no added grain to this one. But at times I add noise in photoshop, blur it, and have it in a layer with Overlay blending mode.
