Matthew has that irresistible off-hand shrug that is so appealing. I shot this very late in the day with the light at his back; note the light along his shoulders and the back of his neck. I used my digital off-camera flash to illuminate his face. To blur the background, putting the focus on the subject, I backed up and zoomed in with my 70-300mm telephoto lens. The results? Tree leaves that look like soft sparkling orbs of light. 1/60; f-5.0.

Rembrandt
This was taken against one of the out buildings on the Bellemeade Mansion's campus. The lighting style created by the small upside-down triangle of light and the surrounding shadows on the left side of Matthew's face is known as a "Rembrandt." I shot this using my 70-300mm telephoto lens. 1/100; f-5.6.
