These are images I shot on a man, Thomas Miller, who had just turned 103 years old. A remarkable person who despite his age still manages to live at home on his own. Add his age to the fact that he is going blind and it makes him even more remarkable.
The photos also marked another milestone, abeit less important, as it was the first time I have felt confident enough to use off camera flash on a image I was shooting for the papers (or any other image I have taken outside the family pics). Although the results are not great I see it as a starting point and plan to practice more to improve and take better images.
These were taken with one strobe gelled with an orange filter (1/4) to give the images more warmth. I also turned down the exposure to -1 on what the ambient was reading. I feel an addition strobe would have helped balance the image better but onwards and upwards.
