"Passing Time"

D-B-J · Mar 19, 2011

I like it, but i feel like it could be improved, but i don't know how. The setup was two flash's controlled by SU800 on camera, one flash being in the top right corner of the windowseat (me sitting in the bottom leftcorner here), pointing slightly back towards the camera to inhibit reflection from the window, and the other flash was about camera height 2 feet camera right, to add some fill light to my face. How can i improve it?

Jake

Good job.

If I had to answer, I would loose lights at the back and around the guy and keep the focus on the subject.
Lighting seem a little unnatural.

Just 2 cents.

Normally when someone reads a book in the dark, the light should be pointing at where he's reading but in this case the strong light is pointing at the back of the book.
Specifically at least I would lose the light/shadow on his arm.
