Weekend tease

After much of last day cancellations and last minute rescheduling I managed to get a nice, productive and fun weekend. And while most of the material was shot "mainstream", I had a chance to add some changes here and there, so hopefully the final results will show it. In the mean time enjoy a sneak peek.:-)

1. Lighting setup rear (flags moved aside)

2. Lighting setup front (I added a snooted face spotter this time)

Hopefully the finals will follow soon!

    Loving these teasers Nik - maybe even better than the final product (though those are excellent as well!) but teasers give a good insight into your setup and thought process of placing the lights. Great stuff.

    Thanks, Travis! I myself cherish every chance to look at somebody's pro lighting setup, so I'm trying to pay this great community back whenever I can.

    David,
    this is what I internally call "playboy" lighting (I guess cause I copycated it from a playboy shoot video). Strong rims/hair, mellow flat main and accentuating key or two. In a small scale (upper body/portrait) you can try to achieve it with only 3 lights (2 rims and 1 main) for for a full height tall girl you need a bit more than that.
