A friend of mine organized a photography session on this particular cloudy and rainy Sunday evening. Hence we were forced to shoot in a covered area, a high rise parking lot. This is my very first time shooting portrait with a hired model, in a challenging location. The parking is not spacious, with lots of distractions. The main light source was the cloudy sky and my camera built-in flash.

The car was parked with it’s rear facing the wall and the sky which make the background brighter than our main subject. I wonder what will happened if the car was parked the other way round?

Needless to say those shots didn’t come out as I wanted.  The background is too bright, my subject is under exposed.

The remedy to this situation was to use my camera built-in flash and get closer to my subject. The sky was omitted in some of the shoots  too.
