When space is tight making a fulllength portrait that looks right and is also evenly lit can be a little bit of a photography challenge. Firstly, using a wideangle lens for portraits can be tricky but also, where do you place your light? What sort of flash works best for fulllength portraits?
The good news is Gavin Hoey has some simple answers to help you get perfect fulllength portraits. Gavin starts by showing you how shooting at waist height will make a huge improvement to the perspective of your fulllength portraits and then turns his attention to lighting. Using a single Flashpoint Evolv300 flash, Gavin demonstrates the effect of near and far flash and also the shadow results from a small and a large light source.
After the shoot, Gavin finetunes the final photo with both some simple cloning in Photoshop and some clever perspective healing using the amazing Vanishing Point filter.
