you will be notified let's do this
So the mission for this session was just to get clean shots with less colors
so you can see my model is in white and we have a gray backdrop
okay now let's talk about the lighting
so this is a three light setup
I'll show you the purpose of each light in a bit
so I'm using the ad600 in a 34 inch softbox as my main light
and I think the 34 inch softbox is now my favorite softbox especially when I'm shooting in my small studio space, it doesn't take a lot of space and the light that comes out of it is...
I love it
I'm using the ad200 in a strip box as my rim light and I've attached the grid because I don't want the light to be spilling all over the place I just want the light on the left side of my model
I'm using another ad200 in a 7 inch standard reflector as my background light and the reason why I added the reflector is because
I just don't want my background to be pure white I just want the gradient background
on top of the background I want the background to be gray in the middle I want the background to be
pure white
and I've also added the five in one reflector so that it can just bounce back some light to fill the shadows under my model's chin and since I'll be shooting headshots just after
shooting the waist level shots the reflector is just going to give me a nice catch light
in my model's eyes you'll see in the photos
I'm shooting with my sonny a7iii and the 85 millimeters g master I'll put the links to the gear that I'm using in the description below.
So first I'm going to kill all the ambient light I'm going to set my shutter speed at 1 over 250th ISO at 400
f 7.1 and my white balance is at 5000 kelvins
so I'm going to take a photo without any light
and then i'm going to take a photo with my background light
my background light power output is at 1 over 64
and then I'm going to take a photo with my rim light
and my rim light power output is at 1 over 128
my main light power output is at 1 over 16
so now I'm going to take a few waist level shots and then after I'm going to take a few headshots
you gave me a few of these, I think just give me maybe five
straight face
serious face
and then you keep changing poses
can you just hold it from where I can see it maybe some were there, a little bit higher um where it
just put it where it was and then just put your hand somewhere there
okay
i love this snap these are some fire shots okay so so let me let me do now hey trots
so the main focus is your face these shorts so the light is coming from the side
while okay going on about your simple life
nothing left you're thinking that maybe you're not different
okay
same one okay take it back take it back
okay
