>>2869380So you think my photos are complete shit and don't look good what so ever? They're not exposed correctly, not in focus, don't have a basic composition, and aren't edited to some degree?
I want to see YOUR exceptional portraits, please, please post some of your work. Mine are certainly adequate i.e. acceptable.
>>2869359I would call it my key light, yes it's 'filling' in the shadows, but not in the way that a fill light does. Typically a fill light is referred to as a fill light when you have a key light lighting the scene, and you need to fill in the shadows created by said key light. If I were using a fill light, the left said of my models face would have a more even exposure, instead of contrasting shadows created by the key light (my speedlight). The sun wasn't my key light in the photo posted below since it was setting behind the building we were at, the sun only provided ambient lighting. So shut the fuck up unless you know what you're talking about.
