OUR APPRENTICE says…

It was now time to go into the main part of the hotel to photograph one of the hotel reception team. Rather than photograph Jess at her desk, Kerry asked her to move into one of the sitting rooms next door to take advantage of the beautiful lighting from an overhead skylight. Using the gold reflector was a revelation. It allowed us to bounce light into Jess’ eyes in a way that makes her smile come alive. Using my 50mm standard prime, I used a wide aperture of f/2.8 to ensure the background was defocused, creating a feeling of depth that makes Jess stand out from her surroundings.
