Tonight I learned a lot about posing people. I’ve posed many people over the years, but this particular night I must have posed 150 different people. I was hired to shoot images at a Christmas party for a local company. When the night was over, I had a new appreciation for this type of photography, trying to capture the many clients in less than 2 minutes each.
I used just 2 lights for the setup, intending use use a second hair light, but some technical issues kept me from doing so. I positioned the subjects about 10 feet in front of a lit Christmas tree, then shot with an aperture of f2.8 to cause the lights on the tree to grow in apparent size by what is referred to as bokeh.
The following image was one of my favorites of the night. I love her eyes which are very captivating in my opinion.
