Window light portraits
Dan and Wilma Humason, owners of the Fox Theatre, have been named Woman and Man of the Year by the Hanford Chamber of Commerce.
These two photographs of were taken within hours of each other. It was a busy day and my first three assignments before noon were portraits. Usually I’ll bring a light stand, an umbrella and a Nikon Sb-28 that I sync off camera with a Radiopopper Jrx. This is a real quick for nice portriature lighting. But with the time constraints of getting from one assignment to the next I couldn’t do this.
So what is the next best thing — window light. I was fortunate enough to have nice light comingin to the buildings of where my subjects were at. The above picture with Dan and Wilma Humason was taken in the lobby of the Hanford Fox Theatre, which they own. I took advantage of the broad light source coming from the glass door entrance of the theater. The bottom picture of Linda Rodriguez I used light coming from her study room window. It gave me a much more directional light. I turned on her hallway lights to give the photo a little more depth.
Linda Rodriguez , who hasmultiple sclerosis, stands in her home on Tuesday, March 16 2010. The builder of her house constucted the hallway a little wider so she could easily navigate her way through it.
Luck O’ the Irish: Hanford Portiait of Bernie Stone
Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day and in many cities all over the United States people took part in drunken celebrations. But here in Hanford the residents of The Remington retirement home turned the day into a more worthwhile cause.
Bernie Stone (pictured above) donated a picture of himself so others at the home could place sticker kisses it. The residents did their St. Patrick’s Day take on the Blarney Stone. Each kiss represented a donation to the American Red Cross.
Fred Fonseca: Hanford Portrait Photography
Homeowners and lenders are the groups I first think of when I see all the foreclosed homes here in California. But sometimes I forget that this problem can affect more people like Fred Fonseca (no realation) who owns a nursery in Hanford, Calif. Spring is around the corner and his sales are slow. His business has suffered because people are afraid to by plants and put an investment into a home they might lose in a year or two. Home builders aren’t ordering because the aren’t building as many new houses. The ripple effects of economics spreads far and wide.
