1. Einstein in a large octa above and feathered down, very low power. Reflector below for fill. Black foamcore on either side very close for subtractive lighting. Not shown in the setup shot is the AB800 added behind for rim/flare.


2. Same as #1, minus the rim light (it's flour that you're seeing on the subject)



Setup


3. Natural light from a winder above/behind the subject/couch, 2 large silver reflectors in front for fill

What's fun about #1, Brian (my business partner) was in the process of putting the rim right (bare AB800) into place. He has turned it on but the stand (short) was still in his hand. It fired via the optical sync and had not yet been set to the "accurate" power. He had adjusted it before the next frame but we immediately when back to the original setting.

#1 is that very first frame with the light still getting put into place.

Fun stuff. Nice.

I like the lighting in all, and the poses in 1 and 3. The chicken wing pose in 2 has been overdone.

The "chicken wing" pose is both arms way forward - this isn't that. The female collarbone is often a pleasing part of the human body - we pose at times to show it off.

I had a PM asking for the SOOC of #1 - here it is...completely SOOC without white balancing.

You hate formally trained models?
