ALP2- Self assessment and final photograph.


Overall I am satisfied with this shot although I completely changed my lighting setup from my original idea.
At first I planned to use 3 heads, 2 in order to light up the background but as I played around with the lighting I realized that I didn’t need to complicate too much so I went with one main light ( a medium soft box) and a reflector placed on the side of the subject.  What I found the most difficult about this photo shoot was the reflections in the window. Since I was shooting in the morning and the outside was a bit dark whereas the inside very well lit I couldn’t get rid of the reflections in the windows behind my model. So I had to get creative with the angle as well as with the positioning of my model. Since I didn’t wanted to go too crazy on the angle I managed to find a spot where the reflections where not very apparent and with the use of cropping I was able to get rid of the window reflections.
Also my main mistake in this shot i find is i that didn't notice my model's suit was not  properly buttoned.
