A link to an explanation of these lighting techniques... I suck at Portrait Lighting, but I expect I’ll be able to come up with something in the split lighting realm 🙃
i knew that mannequin would come in handy lol
perhaps people should think more about the lighting aspect of this challenge and not the portrait part, i think you could do it with a balloon or egg or figurine too @stephanies@helenhall
@kali66 Thank you for the idea of concentrating on the lighting techniques. I don't have access to models so I thing is best for me. I also found the DPS link and it is a wonderful set of 'how they did it'.
Tweets ahoy!
