It’s time for another Take Your Photos From Good to Great! Are you in need of a fresh and creative photography backdrop idea to add some charm and sparkle to your portraits? Buy a swatch of floral fabric and tack it to a wall near a brightly-lit window. For a dreamy blurred background, have your subject sit a few feet in front of the backdrop and use a wide aperture setting on your DSLR (I used f/2.8 for these shots). To make the scene brighter, I bounced the light from the window onto my daughter’s face with a white reflector. We were working (playing) together to make some photos for my latest book, which will be published by North Light Books/F+W Media in August 2014. Here are a few photographs that won’t be in the book, but that I love nonetheless…
