Week 9: Little Boo

What I probably should have posted last week for "obsession" is this photo of my niece. I'm obsessed with her pouty mouth. Anyways... I didn't mind doing all of these capitalist excursions with my family over the holiday because I got to stare at this face, for the most part. She's bathed in this sweet soft light coming in from the skylights in South Coast Plaza. In the top left corner, you can see a little bokeh action happening from the blurred light sources from inside what I remember was the Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Her white shirt is bouncing light into my mother's palm and noticeably off of her gold band. What makes this soft lighting so sweet? I think I am more practiced in using light within the confines of a frame because of my filmmaking background, rather than in a space, which has made this lighting class quite the challenge for me.
