Wow. I also left tech! I did UX Research. Partnered with some data analysts for some projects too. I also started my locs journey. Just hit month 7 😅. Looking forward to see you grow on RU-vid! I’m envious of your coworking space!
Congratulations on starting your own business Shanygne! Keep going. It will only get better from here. As for the starter locs I have them too and when they mature they will look better.
If you plan to take photography seriously, get a flash with lithium battery. They give you hundreds of shots before dying. I'm going to subscribe and watch your progress
Thank you, no matter how much I do it, the beginning is always weird until I stop thinking about the end product and more of what I’m trying to say. Use that tip if you ever had to be infront of the camera
Good for you for the having the courage to embrace change! I am 43 years old and have finally started my photography company this past December. I am inspired by individuals like you!!!
@@SantishaDeonarinePhotography thank you ! It wasn’t easy for me and I still get doubt. Comments like this give me purpose. Thank you and bless your company may it flourish. Use your gift and share with the world
So the first thing I notice is that your flash is way too close to the translucent umbrella. The light doesn't have time to spread out over the whole surface area of the umbrella. You just turned that umbrella into a smaller light modifier, giving you a harder quality of light with more and deeper shadows. If you pull the umbrella a bit further from the flash, the light has time to cover more of the surface of the umbrella, resulting in a larger, softer light. Here you're not using the umbrella to its full capacity. I think you did that with the silver umbrella as well, and that was probably your main problem. You start getting funky (bad) shadows and other things you don't want in your images if the flash is too close to the umbrella. With silver umbrellas, especially, this is a big problem. Look to see if your flash is filling the umbrella before you start shooting anyone. That will help you a whole lot. Learn about what makes light hard or soft and watch some videos on how to use umbrellas. Basically, the further your flash is from the umbrella, the larger and softer your light source will be; the closer it is to the umbrella, the smaller and harder your light source will be. You don't want to back the flash away too far from the umbrella's surface because the light will spill past the edges. You need to do those test shots before you photograph anybody to make sure those things are in order. Once you use the umbrellas more, you'll be fine. Oh, and the silver umbrella produces a bit of a harder light with more specularity (highlights). Try a white reflective umbrella if you want more of a softer look overall to the light, with less contrast between highlights and shadows. Another thing I'd suggest is buy umbrellas that either come with their own diffusers or can accommodate diffusers as you'd have more options for even softer light should you need it. You'll be able to use them with or without the diffusers. But for now, what you have there is a great start. Everything I've said here should help you have an easier time of flash with your umbrellas. I look forward to seeing your lighting journey. Happy shooting! :)
