Time to master my one light. Let's setup my speedlight, camera on a tripod with 70-200 (it looks like BUTT! leaving a green spot in the center of the frame. damn... need to buy a new lens when shooting in a white background) because i needed to compress the background and a remote shutter. If i've used my wide angle, you could have seen the fridge and dining table because it was just an arms reach to where i was standing.
What really made the shot was the diffused light from the four WHITE walls that surrounded our dining area. When i bounced my flash to the ceiling it bounced light all over the place leaving the subject wrapped in a cloud of light giving that diffused soft light. If you think of it, it's like a BIG SOFT BOX. i only made use of PP to to alter the composition and add a little contrast.
When there's no one to shoot, do some self portraits. Who knows, you might like what you see.
These shots were lit with one light @ 8pm...INDOOR.
Things to tickle your mind:
no ambient at 1/200th.
used bare flash.
then where is the light coming from? That's easy... from 4 AA batteries of my speedlight. hehehe
