12 Days of Christmas In this my second contributing piece to Shutterbug let’s travel back to 1994, when I shot my popular series “The 12 Days of Christmas”. Following the initial success of my early greeting cards it was suggested that I should think about creating my own version of the popular traditional song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”. Although I’m Australian, we lived in New Zealand for 18 years (following my husband’s 30-year television career) and one concern I had about this idea was that the song was possibly more popular in New Zealand, Australia and the UK as opposed to the United […]

Overexposing and Using An Eye Lighter With digital, you are usually concerned about preventing the highlights from blowing out-but with this overexposing technique for portraiture, you want to do just that. By overexposing two stops, you can create procelain skin and incredible fashion images. The Basic Setup The background can be simple white paper or a white wall. We used a “tough white” canvas for the sessions seen here. A distance of 5 feet from the model to the background is adequate and eliminates thee need for more lights. For the main light, we use a 36×48 inch softbox and strobe. This is turned to […]
