1. 2 banks of fluorescents in the front on either side, one bank on either side and behind


2. Beauty dish above, stripbox below

Awesome work, iclick!

And being a lighting geek, I love that you describe your lighting here too!

Same here. Great shots and thanks for the descriptions.

Thanks all!

I've always included the lighting setups for a couple reasons. Saves me time of explaining it later when people ask. Plus, these forums are all about collaborative learning - so why not explain how we did it?

And it's helpful to those offering critiques to know how it was lit, so they can offer an idea for a change in lighting that could improve the shot.

Great stuff! Can I ask what lens you used here? Thanks for posting the photos and the info!

Jeremy_22

Used both my 24-70 2.8L and 70-200 2.8L IS lenses.

Well done throughout. What I enjoy here are the great looks and variety of bg's/lighting. Creativity throughout and not "vanilla" Thanks for sharing.

Awesome shots, iClick! I'm particularly fond of beauty dishes, but I see that the use of light strips on the sides is also a great way to light the subject. What kind of lighting setup do you prefer yourself?

Completely different shoot...different subject.

I did take some outtakes that you can see here, but not really any great ones of lighting setups. I get a lot of pullbacks when I'm conducting my sessions, but I was trying to help the rotations, give pointers to the models and get my own shots that all I had time for were a few shots of photogs/models at work.

Not a simple question. It all depends on the subject and the finished product I want. Beauty dish and rims will not work for everything. Many times all I really need is one light and a reflector. And sometimes (if I'm lucky) that one light is the sun.

merely stating that even your outakes are good, a pat on the back Click.

Really dig your lighting and processing, thanks for sharing!
