if there is one thing i’ve learned, & am learning… is that lighting is everything. this picture has VERY minimal editing, i just stood outside an open door, put the little girl just inside a darker room where there was great in-direct light at the opening of the door. such an easy little trick to getting great light reflecting in the kids eyes. i used the smallest number for appeture possible, here 1.8 – but even with any camera or lens, you’ll get great results if you use lighting really well. try it
