I’m taking a class from one of my besties, Candice. It is run through jessicasprague.com. It’s called Portraiture 101. I am LOVING it. I feel like I am learning so much. I will be taking her basic class next, Oh Shoot! (I’m going in reverse order.)
Anyway, my first week of shooting was with my sister’s kids, so I will not be posting any of those here. But when I stopped in Vegas on my way back to P-town, I forced my three-year-old nephew into modeling for me. (Yes, it was forced.)
Here are a couple of shots, showing what a difference a scrim can make in outdoor shots. The top is without the scrim (he wouldn’t uncover his eyes because of the sunlight…I don’t blame him), then two with the scrim–and I totally put the ladybug on his face.
existential dilemmas 
Christy, I actually purchased a 32″ five-in-one reflector, the center of which is a scrim.
so did you make the scrim yourself (and if so how did you do it)?
I think it would be so fun to take a photography class. I need to use a scrim…Thomas is ALWAYS squinting in outdoor pictures-very sensitive to light.
