Again, I don't recall this person's name. But, I liked his smile and his beard!
As I was working on posts, my friend Oleg called and we chatted about my photography. When Oleg talks, I usually listen. He had some nice things to say about my "eye" for the portraits. But, he had a single comment that finally made sense to me. He points out that I still need to better control my lighting.
I look at this photo and see a very happy, smiling, contented face. Oleg sees that...and also the sunny glare on the top of the forehead.
It is an excellent comment. And, it is something I need to work on. It is, however, a bit difficult when I don't have a studio and can't control the lighting. In this case, however, I COULD have asked the gentleman to move into a shaded spot.
Thanks Oleg. I really do appreciate watching you work and learning. And, to the gentleman above, my sincere thanks!

Shade would work, or asking him to move closer to a reflective surface like a wall of a house.
ReplyDeleteThanks Oleg! I really appreciate your help!
