Sharing some photos and thoughts on the making of... photography by: Dan Kaminski Blog Made with Xara Tuesday August 3 Here is a shot taken in probably the worst time of day, but sometimes there is no choice. We wanted to use the house as background as an environment that this lady might have been a part of. The front of the house was in full sun, so we found some shade where we could light the subject separately from the background and then adjust exposure to get the right blend between subject and the house. It turned out pretty well and as an added bonus, the colors also harmonized.
