Portrait Photography

(Darren Dugan) #1
Fig. 5.3
Reflectors are wonderful tools when shooting on
location for pushing light towards a subject. This
image was shot on Wimbledon Common, London
with a white reflector held just underneath the
subject’s chin to soften shadows and brighten the
eyes.
Shot with Reflector, Nikon D3s, lens 70–200
zoom.
