Mani

This is my 16 year old son Mani, @mrr he did well at photoclub tonight, with an honours and a merit :)
he agreed to help me with some rimlight shots, here the lamp is directly behind his head, and it does what a good rim-light should and makes a nice outline , he was holding a homemade reflector, ie some crinkled aluminium foil (to scatter the light) taped onto an A4 piece of card. So managed this with just the one light source. I am happy with it.

That's worked really well. Nice of him to pose for you - it's a great portrait

This portrait is full of emotion. You must be such a proud parent. Congratulations to your son

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I think you did a great job! I may try this, but I have no person around to sit for me for a while...so I think I may use an item...

@espyetta good idea, I practised with a brass jug and the pepper mill first
