I try to get a few shots of my son in his Halloween costume each year. This time around I thought I would go the extra mile and create a themed shoot in a controlled studio environment. I’m pretty happy with the concept, but would have liked to have gotten in more than 7 shots before he lost interest and wandered off. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about toddlers, you get what you get.
I aimed for a darker theme with more directional light and deeper shadows, and fairly rapid fall-off on the main light. Photo of lighting setup is below. I already see some things I would have liked to tweak or have done differently, and am interested in some honest feedback on how I did and what could be improved. As always thanks for looking!
