Artificial Light | Flash - Week 4

Due to a lingering winter and a very pregnant momma, my 2 year-old and I have been indoors more than usual this past month. For this final week of artificial light, I used my speedlite to capture a tightly cropped portrait of him. The grainy effect with its "film noir" feel appeals to me and how, because I was so close to him, the flash created an intense contrast between the foreground and background. I think I'm also fond of this photo because I can envision how he will look as he grows older. My little man.

Please continue along to see the rest of Photo 52's images for this week. Next up is Cheryl Sawyer, fellow New Yorker and photographer friend of mine.
