Portrait Photography

Fig. 4.25
When feathering the light, the photographer
will be using the very edge of a softbox to
illuminate the face. Look into the eyes to see
the narrow highlights of the softbox and how
the light drops off to create a lovely shape to
the face of the subject.

background, 1 Elinchrom BRXi 500, Octa
