Canon EOS 7D Mark II, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens, 1/250 seconds @ f/2.8, ISO 100.

We’re back to portraits this week in the photo challenge, and this time we’re supposed to use bounced light.

Bouncing light is something I’m quite familiar with (at a basic level at least), so the real challenge was finding a subject. So when Susan and Kassie came around to help stuff tea bags, I jumped at my chance.

This was shot with an off-camera flash in a soft-box thing (it attaches to the flash head, the blue shop sells them) pointing at Kassie from the left of frame, and Melissa holding a reflector to bounce some of that light back onto the right side of Kassie’s face. I had her pose so the flash hit her at an angle, just because. A little bit of spot removal in Lightroom et voilà.
