Fearman Photo

“If you admire those moody, sparsely lit portraits where the subject’s face is surrounded by darkness, you may despair that you will never get that shot without a studio and black backdrop. Glyn Dewis, a professional photographer, retoucher and trainer in Britain, uses this technique often, calling it “the invisible black backdrop.” It turns out you don’t need either. You can fake a black backdrop even on a sunny day outdoors with just a camera and separate flash.”
