New Weekly Challenge: Negative Space [PLUS The Essential Guide to Beauty Dish Photography]

Published: Sat, 12/04/21

Greetings from dPS HQ,

If you missed our mid-week news, here it is for you.

Weekly Photography Challenge - Negative Space

What IS ‘negative space’ in photography? Very basically it’s using the open space in an image to draw focus to the subject – your eyes pretty much can’t help but be drawn from the nothingness to the subject.

This week your challenge comes from Sharon Williams a member of our Facebook Group (you should join!) …and after you join you should suggest a challenge (or suggest one in the comments under this post if you don’t do the Facebook thing).

Remember! One photo per challenge, make sure you tag it #dPSWeeklyChallenge and #dPSNegativeSpace if you’re sharing on social media.

Beauty Dish Photography: The Essential Guide (+ 5 Lighting Setups)

The beauty dish is one of my absolute favorite light modifiers – but it can be intimidating for beginners, and can even confuse serious portrait shooters.
That’s why, in this article, I share everything you need to know about beauty dish photography, from the lighting basics all the way to my favorite setups. I also explain when it makes sense to use a beauty dish versus a softbox, so if you’re not sure which way to go, I should be able to help you out.

Let’s get started

Hope you're having a happy and safe weekend.

Darren and the dPS team
