These head shots were taken around 8pm in the evening with my trusty canon 40D, 430ex flash, 70-200 f/4 zoom lens and a white board that I used as a bounce source. The purpose of using Fill Flash is to eliminate the shadows that form under the eyes caused by the sun in most cases, and as well as to match the foreground light with the background lighting, so you will have a perfectly balanced image. The basic set up for these two shots that are shown above were:
- white board camera right angle at a 45 degree angle
- camera in portrait position about 8 feet from the subject
- flash was at 1/1 for the first and 1/4 for the second shot
- s/s=1/200, f-stop=5.6, iso=100
