Portraits setup

Yuri Pautov

Hello, dear friends!
I was asked several times about setup for my indoor portraits photography. This time I decided to make a shot of surroundings so to say.
Two flashes - 300 and 500W. One with a softbox.
Infra-red transmitter.
Our SPARTAK centre has very high ceilings and classic style.

Hope this will be interesting to you.

The master let's us in on his secrets!!! Awesome. Surprised at the simplicity. Looks like you only used the the one light, bounced on that shot. Just reminds me that you don't have to have an elaborate setup with 6 lights and all kind of modifiers to get outstanding portraits. I guess it's like everything els.... K.I.S.S. - Keep It Simple Stupid.

Thanks Yuri.

Alex, don't underestimate the space. This setup wouldn't work the same way in a typical garage/apartment.

Great to see the setup for the shots
I should be able to do very similar setups at the Mission Inn in Riverside for a wedding the first of the year.....

Looks like both lights are actually being used, it's just that the softbox is "feathered" away from her so the spill acts as the fill camera left (there's a slight hotspot on the closest column that isn't from the main bounce). It's a super soft, smooth, and delicate fall-off kinda fill.
