One of the reasons I got hired is my ability to put together lighting patterns to make beautiful photographs of people. I would do, sometimes rather quickly, a facial analysis to determine the best view of the face to photograph. Lighting is one of the three important/essential ingredients for successful people photography. It's utilizing lighting for sculpting the face. It is a way to elevate photography as an art.
The portrait of me I’m using as my avatar here was made by my coach and mentor on the beach in Sarasota Florida, truth be known, a long time ago.
A side note, I used pocket wizards for flash photography.
I suggest taking a class on photography lighting for people, if you’re interested in learning how to make beautiful portraits.
