Puke Green to Seamless White

8/13/09 – Rebecca Getsfrid – Commercial and Fashion Portrait Photographer in Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon

Had some plans to do something more formal and cool with a portrait client, but the northwest weather was uncooperative, and the rain forced us inside. Her small apartment didn’t leave us much to do, so I blasted the ugly green walls with light until they turned bright white, stuck a ring flash on the lens for a bit of on axis fill, and came up with something that both she and I really digged. There’s maybe 8inches to a foot of space between her and the all behind her.
