It’s April 30th, and we’ve been home sheltering in place since the 16th of March. I’ve been taking daily portraits of the girls for most of that time. It’s been and continues to be an interesting experience. The girls are happy to sit for a few seconds on their own terms. My direction has to be limited to maintain their interest, so really I’m just setting up lights and hoping to get something representative of who they are in that moment.

I’ll be posting some of the images I’ve been capturing in subsequent blog posts, and here is one to get started.

This is a one-light setup with a 24” beauty dish directly above the camera and pitched heavily to create a top down light pattern with a bit of fill.
