LeftHandedBrisket Combating camera shame since 1977...  More info | Sep 11, 2014 07:04 | #2 Looks like she is hiding in a closet. The shadow on the left is a problem, is the pole part of the building structure?

Sep 11, 2014 13:41 | #3 This was shot in a narrow stair well of an abandoned house that is probably ~200 years old. The lighting was on purpose due to it fitting with the character she was cos-playing which is "dark and moody". The pole is part of the structure yes.

Didereaux Senior Member  More info | Sep 11, 2014 19:58 | #5 I just can't find any redeeming qualities in this shot. It just doesn't work. I think I get the concept, but it didn't gel for the camera. Couple of Canon bodies, a couple of Canon lens, few gadgets all stuffed in a bag...and a stick, and a tripod.

Sep 11, 2014 21:01 | #8 I think the lighting basically works, but it might look a little better if the model was about a step forward. As it is the shadow cuts off their arm. Would it be possible to frame the model so she is completely in the lit area and the shadow be used to help separate her from the background?

There's a post coming out her head, which is very close behind her. There's not really any separation to subject and background, and there's not really enough background to tell a story. If you are including background, make it compliment the photo. Like, where is she? You say it's in a 200 year old stair well, that's great, so where is it? Her face is smack in the middle of the frame too, which I actually LOVE in some portraits and other people aren't big fans, but I think that works when there is lots of subject separate or the background compliments that portrait. Either include the background or don't. But which ever, make it work. Examples here of subject separation and them both in the middle of the frame;   You might really dislike my pics and completely disagree and that's fine. But maybe that helps also I'm not saying my pics are right, and yours are wrong. It's all subjective. Working indoors with an on camera flash IS HARD. It's hard to get the lighting right so it's not too hot, or unflattering, or creating harsh shadows on the subject or behind the subject. _______________

It's a tough go, but the first thing would to find a position that didn't have a post out the top of the head. Next I would try zooming in or out. Not certain which way, but pretty certain there is a better view than this one. Couple of Canon bodies, a couple of Canon lens, few gadgets all stuffed in a bag...and a stick, and a tripod.

The shadow in this case doesn't work, it's distracting and harsh. Shadow certainly can work, but it doesn't here. here's a pic of mine where I think Shadows work There's a post coming out her head, which is very close behind her.
