Direct Flash in the Kitchen, the Eyes Give It Away
Close-range, eye-level half-body, direct flash on the face, seated at the kitchen island — the expression is caught before it can be composed.
✍️ The CCD direct flash lights things rough, and it's exactly that roughness that makes the portrait feel like a snapshot instead of a carefully lit setup. Pair that light with an eye-level half-body frame, and the expression gets caught before it can be composed — skip either one, and it turns into a posed photo.
