Portraits/Expressions

Studio portrait of Tessa, I asked her to give me an Artistic pose and this is what I got. I do not normally go for shallow depth in Portraits but I liked it here. The soft focus on the sides of her head, makes her blue eye(s) pop. 3 light setup, one for head, with slight angle to provide some shadow, one for the backdrop and one for hair. The backdrop light is kept at minimal strength to provide a gray backdrop to complement the color of the turtle neck she is wearing. Also, I actually used my kit lens which is a 24-120 nikkor lens I got with my old but still reliable D750.
