I had a second chance to do a portrait set at the Teej festival celebration recently.
Black background this time, because the festival is a little more “blingy” than previous ones.
The best shots come from the moments of preparation.
Or distraction. The limits of my background were missed here.
My simple but effective process here is a single reflected brolly about where my head would be, then insert myself below and in front of it to get the image. I am faced with varying group sizes, heights and “props”, so even cover and quick adjustments are the key.
