I always love using window lighting for portrait shots. It gives a variety of looks to the subject I want. For the assignment Shooting Tight, what I used for the model was strictly window lighting. For this assignment I knew I was going to use mostly kids for my subjects so I wanted to use more of a soft window light on them. On the side facing away from the window I would use a reflector to bounce light back onto them, softening their look.

For this shot I could not get her to sit still, which I actually loved. She has a huge personality and I wanted to see if I could capture that, so I let her do her thing. This was right after she had a chocolate chip cookie and got caught. She knows how to use those cute eyes to get out of anything.

This shot I wanted to go for more of a glamor look, so I put the reflector more underneath. He is a great model and didn't need a lot of direction. With all the subjects I used, I didn't tell them to do anything or tell them how to model. I told them where to stand and would just talk to them until their personality came through.

This little guy is just awesome. He was covered in dirt and didn't care to be in front of them camera. This was the first shot I took of him and loved it, which was lucky because after 3 more clicks of my camera he said he done.
