Looking For Light: 

This is what happens when it’s 1100 and I don’t have a photo for tomorrow, and I’m in a room with nothing interesting and no one else with a couple flashes and tripods.
As always, the disclaimer. I *hate* self-portraits as a rule. I hate doing them, and I hate 90% of other people’s selfies. Selfies always seem so… selfish. But I keep doing them because it’s one way to learn. I have no interest in people seeing me on the internet, having pictures of myself, but I do have an interest in understanding how light works and where I can place them for best results. Now that that’s out of the way, photo info:
Strobist: One SB-900 above me, about 3 inches from my face, above me. (It’s actually in frame, I cloned it out.)View On Black
