When this weeks theme was announced I thought 'oh okay, that's easy. I often shoot with a side light at 45-90 degree angle'. This week I wanted to challenge myself. A lot of my photos are very light and bright (I often over expose) so I wanted to do something a bit more dramatic with the light. I have loved this week, even though on the final day I got a bit annoyed that it wasn't working for me! It has really made me look at the light in my house and how I can manipulate it to create a shot. Cookie wasn't the most willing model but with a few biscuits I finally managed to get her to sit! I used a dark blanket behind her, switched off all the lights and closed the blinds in the lounge except for one.
It's different for me and something I will try to perfect.
