Preview: Michelle

PS: Wouldn't Michelle be the perfect J. Crew model??! If only you could vote people onto these things... 

I never used to take photos indoors because "my camera does not work well in low light."  However, some indoor things are pretty awesome and I needed to learn to accommodate, so I have recently but upping my ISO, stopping down to 2.8 (widest my best lens can go), and taking advantage of window light.  I am particularly proud of this photo because although there was great light through the large window in this room, I was able to even it out across her face and highlight her features with my HOMEMADE reflector (applause for Alice!)!!!!  I'm pretty proud if you can't tell.  

fake photo...please excuse my face. (reflector made with aluminum foil and poster board.)

PS: When I was googling how effective foil reflectors were, the first website I came to was in fact not about photography on a budget, but growing marijuana on a budget.  Good job, world.
