A little background lighting  

0 comments


Susanica and I spent some time in the studio this week shooting background lighting tests with our live-in model Eve. Eve works for free so we took our sweet time and did several dozen tests throughout the week. In the above shot, Eve was lit with an SB900 with a HonlPhoto 1/8 Speed Grid and a HonlPhoto 1/4 CTO Correction Filter. The background was lit with an SB800 with a HonlPhoto 1/4 Speed Grid and a HonlPhoto Yellow Filter on white seamless background paper.

Since I hadn't shaved or combed my hair that day, I took this self portrait silhouette of myself, Eve, and Susanica, without the mainlight:
