Fill Lighting Portrait: Maximizing Details with Fill Sources
When we talk about lighting in photography, we usually think about adding one or more lights to a scene to enhance it. However, one crucial aspect of lighting that often goes unnoticed is fill lighting. Fill lighting is what elevates an image by providing the missing element that holds many photographers back from doing well in competitions or achieving a level of refinement in their work.
During a recent critique of a photographer's work, John Gress noted that although their subjects were well-illuminated and separated from the background through edge lights, hair lights, and background lights, the shadow details were missing. This is where fill lighting comes in, and it can be achieved through bounce cards, reflectors, or an extra light source. The use of passive fill is probably the easiest way to take charge of your shadows and maximize details in your depictions.
