Brown shawl

[Chris Saper]

This photograph was taken indoors, with my Nikon Coolpix 5700 digital camera. To light my subject, I placed a single 6500 Kelvin bulb in a reflector on a tripod. The bulb was at a height of about 7 feet. Just off to our left . perpendicular to the wall, was the closed studio door, which is paInted white, and acts as a fill reflector.

I wanted to have clean value separation, so I placed her against a middle value wall (my studio wall, painted in a Home Depot Behr color called Mesa Gray) so that the shadowed side of my subject would be darker than the wall, and lit side lighter.
