#sidelighting

Good morning Toronto! . Does this ever happen to you? You’re about to take a shot and an outside light source gets in your way? . Before I was about to take this photo, a car came in shining their headlights directly in front of me. I waited for a while thinking they would turn off the lights but they never did. So instead of not taking a picture I decided to use the side light to my advantage. . I made a long exposure shot to emphasize the light a little more and used the side lighting to add more depth and definition to the trees—this created what I find to be a more interesting shot than without the side lighting. . Swipe left to see a shot without the side light and let me know which one you like more! . I guess this is what you mean by making lemonade out of lemons? . Nikon Z 9 with Z 24-120mm f/4 at 24mm, f/10, 6.0sec., ISO80 . #makinglemonadeoutoflemons #nikonambassador #zcreators #z9 #sidelighting #lighting101 #photography101 #torontoartist #torontoartists #canadianartist #artistsofig #artistsoninstagram #etobicoke #torontosunriseseriesbytaku #winterinthecity #rediscoveron #seetorontonow #sharecangeo #yourshotphotographer #passionpassport (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZrinbxuB72/?utm_medium=tumblr

I recently took these photos for my photojournalism assignment and got a 100 :) They belong to me, but if you want to use them, do ask!

Side-lit Portrait Side-lighting supports the idea that (sometimes) less is more. The example here is from “Pinwheel,” a short fantasy directed by @RichMillard. Keeping half of the actor’s face in shadow gives us fewer details but more intrigue.
