Mirjam's Photography Blog: Light schemes for portrait photography

It is quite interesting how many ways you can make portraits, endless ways to play with lights, try out different light setting schemes and make your owns set for the perfect portrait. I really like how many choices there are, it is hard to get tired of shooting portraits when you can approach with a creative mind. Best way is to plan out what you want your picture to be, look for inspiration because when you have an idea you can look at other photographers work and look what you yourself want to make different and how you can make an even better photo as probably somebody has already done it before. Planning a shoot is one of those things i am still getting used to, i know in my head that it is the most efficient way to get a good photograph but i have to put that theory to use more often. I tried out using different schemes (photos below).
I definitely feel this needs a lot more practice, i know you can not get the perfect picture at first try. I feel i should have used different settings on my camera to make the light pop a little more. So i am not really liking how they came out but i think i wouldn't have noticed these things if i had not done them as i did. So i still learned from my experience.
