Self Portrait


Last night, I wanted to make a self portrait. Unfortunately it didn't turn out good. As slept late, I woke up at 11am and saw this beautiful soft window light. I took the tripod and start shooting myself. 
Thank God for the creativity He gave me. 1st the background as I wanted a black background, I couldn't find a huge black cloth, instead I took 4 piece of clothes & pants and hang them behind me.
Background set and I wanted to fill the shadows, I'd put on the reflector on my left hold on by 2 electric fans. I was always wanted to do a back-light kind of shoot, so I took my led light and light stand behind me. 

There so much to learn about light! Moving around with a mirror helped me to see where the shadow was falling, thank the Lord for the joy of seeing light and shadow.
