Beginning in 2011, my housemates at the time and I started a tradition of having a Fancy Feast every winter where we would dress up in nice clothes and cook a delicious meal to share around the table. That tradition has continued almost every year since then, though the makeup of the group has changed as some original members got married and/or moved away.
This past Saturday was Fancy Feast 2018 and a good time was had by all. I thought I would try to take some nice pictures for people since we were all dressed up, so I set up a little lighting and took some portraits. Unfortunately I'm not very good with flash lighting (or for that matter, setting up good composition for indoor portraits) and therefore am not overjoyed with the results, but I thought I'd share a few pictures anyways.
For these shots I had a small softbox set up just to my left, and another flash right behind the subjects. If any of you wonderful people who know much more about lighting than I do have any suggestions or critiques for how I could have lit the scene better, I would definitely love to hear them!
