9. Papa
   BY SHAUN FOX

This humourous character portrait of Shaun’s

grandfather (Papa) was taken for his portraiture

unit in college. Shaun used a snoot to light Papa’s

face and had to adjust the lighting to avoid big

hotspots on his head. Shaun reveals he also used

an opaque sheet of plastic to soften the lighting.

Camera: Nikon D3200

Lens: 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3

Exposure: 1/60 sec, f/14, ISO100

10. The Inverse Square
    BY MATTHEW CROSBY

Matthew took this shot during a lighting workshop

demonstrating light fall-off according to the inverse

square law. It may have been a practical demo, but

Matthew loved the rim light that highlighted model

Tizianna’s features, creating a partial silhouette

while plunging the rest of her into deep shadow.

Camera: Nikon D500

Lens: 105mm f/2.8

Exposure: 1/100 sec, f/11, ISO200

WIN A NIKON Z 6 + 24-70mm

THE Z 6 – THE PERFECT CAMERA FOR IT ALL

With its ace 24.5Mp full-frame sensor and quick 12fps shooting

rate, combined with top low-light performance and agile

autofocus, you’ll be able to capture anything. No mirror means

the camera is lighter and more compact than an SLR, while the

Z 6 also manages to pack full-frame 4K video. The super-sharp Z

24-70mm f/4 S is the perfect everyday lens, whatever you shoot.
