Boru O'Brien O'connell

Aspire to do this...
Well, not literally. I found this photographer on the I heart photograph blog this morning. This guy is a mad man! Great lighting and an intriguing mix of portraits and still life. Notice how he uses the family of angles to intentionally produce direct reflection of the light source in his subjects glasses. His reflections are carefully placed so they add another graphic element to the images without causing distraction or tension. At first thought you might think that understanding the family of angles would help you keep the reflection of the light off the subject's glasses. I can remember struggling with this when I was starting out. However, use can use the family of angles to break the rules as well and create some really interesting images.
