    What are you using for the reflection? Also, how do you get so nicely exposed highlights with such little light fall off where the shadows are not lit, but not super dark either...?

    1) A piece of Lexan

    2) Uhm, lighting and post-processing... Not really too much to it... Those who attended my "Posing The Light" workshop can attest...

    Nik, this set is masterly done! bowdown.gif

    I am fixated on 8 - How many takes to get that chiffon to behave properly? It couldn't be better IMO.
    4 lights for this one?
    And what did you use (modifier) for the frontal?

    Congrat's on the showcase! thumb.gif
    Cheers!

    The chiffon part does take some effort to learn. Historically none of my models had ever dealt with it before shooting with me. However, since I dealt with the models dealing with it it a lot mwink.gif, I usually manage to provide them with proper directions on how to handle it.
    Some do it better that the others, and, in all honesty, I don't think this is the best handling ever. But it was OK to use it as one of the finals.
    I don't think we spent more than 15 minutes on this. I typically insist on a series of "dry runs" before starting wasting pixels. There are also different effects you may want to go for ("cloud", "wave break", "spiral", "blender", "veil", etc.) that require different handling techinque, some more challenging than the others...

    And as to the frontal light: ProFoto Compact 600R + 7' (grided) Octabox.
