I romanen om mitt liv och mina resor

Persongalleriet #584: The Big Spotlight in the Sky

Trying to learn a thing or two from Master Alphan, yesterday I looked for those little spots of light that can make a subject really stand out from the background. It was a sunny day, which is almost a prerequisite, otherwise you would have to look for electric lighting to do the job. I have especially come to love indirect sunlight bouncing off a bright surface.

For this next shot, I had scouted the scene for a possible street still life, when this guy stopped me in the street and asked me to take his portrait.I asked him to go down the stairs and it turned out it was the door to his place of work!

Later in the day I found a spot with some Hollywood big screen studio lighting right in the heart of the city. The direct sun is on her back and a big, unpainted aluminium wall is shooting the sunlight right back in her face! As the background is much darker, I think the effect is pretty striking!

Now I have to get out on the streets! It's my last shooting day in Istanbul after all!

Be well, everybody!
