Untitled from the Series Saturday Night
Ambient light from different sources illuminates two sides of this portrait made with a long exposure and flash fill. Deborah Whitehouse works on a tripod and uses a shutter speed of eight to ten seconds, then ends the shot with the pop of a strobe powered down to it’s lowest setting for a touch of crisp lighting on the subject. She often counts down the exposure time to indicate that her subject should remain still until after the strobe fires.
