I decided to take some self-portraits in my home studio using strobe lights. I set the camera on a tripod, fixed the lighting, and used the shutter release. It was not easy getting myself at the right height, but finally, success.
Amanda and CJ
I went out to Brick Pond Park, in North Augusta, to shoot some pictures of Amanda and CJ. It was a warm day in early November and, although it was a bit hazy, we got some lovely shots.
Portraits
These Portraits were taken in my upstairs photo studio using new lighting equipment.
I took these portraits after taking an indoor lighting class. To take the self-portraits, I set up my tripod with my Nikon camera mounted on top, set the backgrounds, used a special release device, set the camera, focused and sat down. It was a process, but I believe the self-portraits came out very nice.
My friend volunteered to have her portrait taken as well. I think the results are quite good. Of course, I will gain skill and will be perfecting my techniques with time.
