studio lighting:

In this photo, the light was centerd on the flower that brian is holding. The cameras f-stop was set at 5.6 with a shutter speed of 250. Because i used a black back drop the photo is really dark and only brian is visable. I think this photo would of been better if i used a white back drop because it would of had more contrast. Since the light was centerd basicly in the middle of brian, his hands are the drightest point in the photograph. This photograph was succesful but then at the same time it wasnt because brians hair blended in with the backdrop. I dodged his head multiple times but i still coulndt make brians hair lighter than the backdrop.
