For example you can aim your light source at a piece of plywood, that has a bunch of random cut holes like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lowel.com\/edu\/light_controls\/cookaloris.html\">this<\/a>. Instead of an evenly lit background you can achieve a more varied image with shadows and highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like to use natural light as much as I can. In this one I&#8217;ve consciously used the shadows created by the sun coming through the trees as basically a gigantic cookie. Highlights and shadows create a patterned texture on the grass adding lots of depth to this photo. The red and green make for a great contrast. Flashes coming in from left and right, both at 1\/2 power. One light to highlight Falon&#8217;s wavy hair and another one to create a rim light on her long legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jimmysastra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_5380.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"675\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jimmysastra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_5380.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1110\" title=\"IMG_5380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jimmysastra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_5380.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.jimmysastra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_5380-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><br>\nAbove: Falon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a technique in photography where you shoot your flash through something with holes so the light that goes through creates a textured shadow.
