Portrait photography has always been very interesting to me, everyday i get to see online great portraits taken by awesome photographers from all around the world, and those I like most are the ones where people seem unposed and naturally lit.
I recently got to read the Lighting 101 article on strobist.com and really liked his analogy of working with off camera flash as if it was cooking, however, next chance I get to work on a portrait session I will make a bigger effort to keep in mind inverse square law principles as well as taking frequent flash readings.
Since I was using my off camera flashes on this shoot, I figured why not use color gels to spice things up and I immediately realized how much fun that can be, however, when working with color gels it can be easy to lose track and stop seeing light with an objective eye.

Los retratos siempre me han parecido súper interesantes, a diario suelo ver gran calidad de retratos que fotógrafos de todas partes del mundo publican a diarion. Los que mas disfruto son los que parecen no ser posados y con iluminación natural.
recientemente, cuando lei un el manual instructivo publicado en Strobist.com, en la que comparan el trabajar con flashes algo parecido a cocinar, decidí tomarlo en cuenta para la próxima oportunidad que tuviera de hacer una sección de fotos.
Ya que tenia decidido usar flashes, me pregunte ¿porque no usar transparencias de color? y esto aunque es divertido, puede afectar la manera en que uno juzga la luz.
