Although I had very few participants in my workshops in Tuscany, I had prepared several topics.
One problem that often arises, and that I wanted to deal with, is so-called mixed light, i.e. the use of the available natural light together with an artificial light source. The completely ruined hall on the first floor of the dilapidated house offered ideal conditions.
Daylight only entered through the window arches, which would illuminate the model from one side, but leave the other side practically completely in the dark. Charming too! Some of the pictures in the series show the lighting situation without additional brightening.
But the point was to use a portable, normal flash in as balanced a way as possible together with the available daylight, without the effect of the flash seeming too strong or too unnatural.
Of course, I had already learned all these things in my training (in one of my previous lives...), but since I already had a model and a location, why not try out the workshop theme in one session?
The series of beautiful location nudes with the young Italian woman shows what came out.
