Lighting Situations

Window Light

What I like about this photo is that mysterious feeling you get from the photo. He's looking out the window, and the window light creates a soft look on his face. And since it's B&W, you have 2 things to focus on. One is the man, and the other is the window, because you could be wondering what's he looking outside.

Open Shade

What I like about this photo is the relaxed look the woman has in the shade. When you're in shade, you relax. This makes this photo natural. And it has a shallow depth of field, so it focuses on her.

Direct Light

What I like about this photo is the use of the aperture. It's a shallow depth of field, but you can partly see that the woman is in a field. I also the lighting on this photo. It's a bright photo, but it's not overly exposed. And the woman looks natural in the pose, not stiff.
