Make a portrait a la Nuit Américaine.
‘Nuit Américaine’ is the French name for film scenes that are shot with a special filter ‘during the day’ and after editing look like night scenes in the film. As a photographer you can use a flash to get the same effect.
How do you get that typical dark ‘Nuit Américaine’ sky with a sharp flash in the foreground?
– Set your flash unit to the same aperture as the measured aperture of the available light.
– The shutter speed of your camera; measured from your available light; but; underexposed by 2 apertures.
