Well ... I'm gonna grade myself on a learning curve considering I'm an amateur photographer, and I am still learning to use the equipment. And ... well, what I learned in this session is that how I use the equipment is going to change with every new location.
My cousin's apartment was a little small for set up, so we used the complex's club house which had an open floor plan and sloping and vaulting ceilings in every section of the room which really threw shadows all over. No one part of the ceiling was the same. I never would've guessed that the shape of a ceiling could make such a difference in lighting. Shows what I know! I think ultimately what I should've done was turn every light out except for my photography bulbs, but ... you learn as you go right?
As per my norm, baby Logan's pics seemed to have turned out very well, as did some of the other kids. My niche seems to be babies and children - candid moments at that! But if you'll compare these photos to those I've done in my own home where I am used to working with the lighting, you will see what I'm referring to.
But ... it is what it is, right? I do hope Adam and Tricia feel they got some decent photos out of the ordeal. Though, as I explained to them all, I would love the chance to redeem myself. So these two Davis families are hereby handed an open offer for another session come spring.
And hopefully, every session I do will always be a learning lesson for the next!
