My Little Model

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: dustyn

I use Dustyn to do a lot of photography testing and so forth. He charges me popcorn and candy. What can you say? Not a bad deal. I was testing out using my reflector. I bought it awhile back and hadn’t used it much.

    I think these turned out great - I love using my reflector...so helpful if I can find someone to hold it.

    Nice! :D I don't know if you've heard this tip - but with reflectors, if you get them to close their eyes, then open on the count of three, you can snap the shot before they start to squint. I learned this during my course - it worked great with my kids! :D

    What a cute subject! Lucky for you that he is cooperative. I have a hard time getting my boys to help me out, they say it's too boring!

    You are blessed to have such a cooperative model! My kids go back and forth between being cooperative and running from the camera. Looks like you put your reflector to good use. Do you think you could show a pic with it in the view so we can see how it is used? Just wondering. :)

    So cute! Love those little feet and hands. I rarely use my reflector either. I should, but it's hard to use it when you can't stand still for more than 2 seconds, lol. Great shots ;)
  36. Gina says

    March 20, 2012 at 8:23 pm

    Well done - he looks so grown up. I actually just ordered the large 42"x60" reflector & it's on it's way here. I can't wait to have a full body size now that 2 of the 3 kids are nearly as tall as me.

    He's a good little model!
  44. Jessi says

    March 20, 2012 at 7:04 pm

    I can't believe how big he is! Question but how do you use a reflector without an assistant to hold it? Prop it up on something?
