My friend and financial advisor, Rick
Applegate, needed a black and white portrait for a brochure. I shot this with my "portable studio". Main light (SB-24)
#1 on the left bounced into a white umbrella. White circular reflector
#3 on the
right. Hair (rim) light #2 from a 200 watt second monolight with a snoot
pointed at his head from 5 feet away on the rear left. He happened to be
wearing a charcoal suit, so I selected the suit in Photoshop and opened it
a little with
curves. I hung black fabric #4 behind him, clipping it onto the top
of two file cabinets. Shooting on Manual. Shutter speed set on 1/1000 so
ambient light didn't affect exposure at all. F- stop bracketed manually to
adjust for the review on the LCD. |
