John, Erin, and the Original Soup Man! Our good friends are near the end of their journey around the world, and we had the fortunate chance to have them swing by for some lunch, coffee, and classic Princeton cupcakes.

Thanks, Ben! Ah, yes, the Small World shot. Well, the cool thing about that one is that the light temperature coming off the overheads above Emily are much more yellow than the background, as there is a huge skylight that is letting in the daylight, which in contrast is much bluer. It gives a cool effect in setting her apart from the background. One of the great ways of making a subject pop is to set them in high contrast against the background with color. Bright clothing on dull colors, or vice-versa. I’m sure you know this, but the fun thing is that you can use that same technique with light temperatures. And it’s not just for digital photographers, but film as well. It can be harsh at times, so it’s best to use it tastefully, and when it works it’s always a fun effect. Thanks for asking!
