Kate Figes
Kate Figes, author of numerous books on parenting and relationships, was visiting High Storrs School in Sheffield as part of the 'Off The Shelf' literary festival.
The talk was given in a black-walled studio with lighting to suggest that they had run out of 50p to put in the electric meter. However, there was a red-gelled spotlight shining on one of the walls so before the talk started I took the chance to grab a quick portrait and positioned Kate so that she was in front of the reddened wall and lit her with a dab of on-camera flash. Not the most flattering setup in the world but there was nothing to bounce off so it had to be head-on and toned down a lot. But technically it did come out quite nice viz focus, backdrop and not too much over-powering flash.
