So I want to ask many of you if you understand flat light? Image after image I see you guys posting image were there is little to know contrast on the faces of your subjects. There are some cases when you want to use flat light...but generally speaking you want to stay away from flat light especially for portraits. [Flat light does not bring out depth and detail, or add any intriguing character. flat lighting dulls or eliminates the intriguing features of your subjects that give them their character, expression, emotion. Highly diffused, direct lighting can be a useful tool for portraits, however uses as the only source of lighting it can produce rather boring portraits. More complex, angled lighting can do wonders for portrait photography. Use of sunlight or artificial lighting, angling your subjects to light sources, providing adequate and appropriate fill lighting, etc.] (below is SOOC at an example)
