With that out the way, lets get into the meat of the matter. The assignment was an all day event started at about 10:00 am and ended at approximately 6:00 pm. I will state the obvious I was shooting models, show casing swimwear by various designers at the moment the only one I can remember is Minka (love her work).
Equipment
I have not yet recieved my Softligher and Cybersync Triggers so I’m still on shoot through smith victor umbrella’s and poverty wizards.
Nikon D2h
sb-28-dx
and Keisha who had to deal with the heavy lightstand (to give me the positiong I required for my Lights, Without her non of those photos would be possible)
The Shoot
There were 4 Beautiful models and A whole lotta swimwear. keeping focused on this shoot was not an issue ( I jest it never is). The ladies knew what to do and needed little Artistic Direction So the shoot flowed very well so to speak.
I’ve posted my favored photo as a preview of what the output is like. Here I had the light overhead from left pushing light down on the subject. was at about 1/2 power distance doesn’t really count it was as close as it could be without being in the frame I love this shot the most because it reminds me of scorpion / subzero or reptile (i’m sure you recognize that pose if your gamer / geek of any kind)
Model: Debbie-Ann Willams
Makeup: Latoya Grindley
Photography: Gladstone Taylor
Here’s a link to all the photos published on the Jamaica-Gleaner.com
Awesome shot! Single strobe? Where is this?
Yep 1 light and its at boon hall oasis. U sooo didn’t look at the print product
Great job on the entire shoot. And this shot really is a stunner. Good job buddy, good job.
I like, i would have used some fill (flash or reflector) in the front (positioned low) to bring back some details to the heavy shadow areas, and illuminate the eyes a little. ( you know digital renders those areas with the botchy brown specs). and maybe i wouldve used a light or two to separate her from the background and make her more 3d. but i like it otherwise.
Yea, i second the fill movement. but only had one light. so I had to make the best of that speedlight.
I like this photo for sure, the onelight set up does add some exotic mystery… Beautiful model in the middle of the dark jungle
Re the fill lights, I agree, just slightly tho for me, on the torso and leg. A trick I will share in a similar lighting position, I had no fill light nor reflctors, but I grabbed some one wearing a white tshirt. Worked beautifully.
niiice, think i may just throw a white piece of cloth in the bag for future situation like this.
wow! awsome image. Fill would be good but this is a good simulation of realisim. She looks as If she is in a Real Jungle, not an organized shoot…
