Glamor Lighting: Patrick was kind enough to let me photograph him. Even though I have shot Patrick before, this time he was being quite difficult. I dont know if he was just trying to live up to the "glamor" or if he was just tired of getting his photo taken. Either way it was still fun shooting him and I enjoy the challenge. I typically dont really like glamor lighting on males and I feel like this is no exception. While glamor is often flattering on female figures I feel like it takes away the manliness from most males. 

 Hard Split: Patrick was very good at pulling the mood from this lighting set up. He instantly went to a "grumpy" look and I feel like that works great with the split lighting.

 Rembrandt:  honestly haven't used this lighting very much and I dont know why. I feel like it really is a great light for most any face. I really like the back light rimming his shoulder and neck. It really seems to separate him from the background.

 Hard Split: This lighting was probably the easiest of the natural lighting techniques. The sun came out and was really strong for just a few minutes so I quickly had Patrick turn to the side and we accomplished a really strong split light.

 Rembrandt: The lighting outside was really soft at this point so we decided it would be a good time to try and pull off the Rembrandt. I feel like I was partially successful with this but not as successful as I would have liked.

Glamor: This one was a little bit difficult. The sun came back out I decided it was time to try the glamor. I pulled one of the signs lining the sidewalks off of its post and used the white backside of it for a reflector. Patrick held it just out of frame and we got a lot of bounce coming back up onto him.
