So the studio was invaded this evening…
By about a dozen girl scouts – ranging in age from about 7 to about 17, plus about five parents.
In the past, we’ve been asked by local Girl Scout troops to provide a portion of their Photography badge by training them, and giving them something to do in the photography area. What we did filled both parts of what they were looking for.
For the first part, I talked about the main light, fill light and separation light. I showed them how the main light works, why the fill light is necessary and how big a difference the separation light makes. After a few questions, and some funny moments, I set it up so that each girl would take a picture of another girl in their troop. I took the picture of the first girl.
The girl who was the subject took the next picture of another girl. And so on.
The last girl took a picture of me.
I’ve looked better.
I’ve looked a LOT worse.
