Gabe and Shannon 2013

i was able to shoot my nephew and niece last sunday, june 23, 2013.. i have been thinking of doing this project for quite some time now.. doing solo or individual portraits of my family in black and white.. at last, i was able to start with my nephew, Gabe and niece, Shannon..

here are some shots i've posted on my flickr:



here are some headshots of each kid.. :)


Gabe, my nephew..


Shanon, my niece..

the lighting setup i used for the shoot are as follows:
-light with 72x72, medium sized, soft box, positioned on the camera's left, at about 45 degrees to the subject.
-there's are walls at the back and on the left of the subject/s..
-i also placed a silver reflector in front of the subject, facing up to somehow minimize shadows under the subject/s chin and neck area.

below is the diagram of the lighting setup during the shoot.

all photos were taken, post processed and owned by Kenneth Yu Chan (c) 2013.
