Description

A fashion shoot with Jessica Bryan who was a fill in for the absent model. She did very good as it was her first time ever modeling. The photoshoot was for the Flair Magazine, a story titled the history of the little black dress. The shoot was sheduled for about 12pm, and everyone was on time so to speak the location was the pulse complex on trafalgar road (parking his horrid there, you’ve been warned). The sun is its meanest at that hour so i sourced out some shade and was essentially good to go.

One light setup: sb 28dx modified with a photek softliter and triggered with Cybersyncs. Ideally I wanted a two light setup.. and I do have about 3 – 4 lights in total however no means to Trigger em as yet (some csrb’s are required).

I Positioned the lights mostly camera left and high so i could both use it as a hair light / keylight. Worked pretty well. the rest was like clock work. For the image i threw up I moved the light to camera right as it gave me more detail on the little black dress from that side. A few adjustments had to be made in terms of shutter speed and iso as the sun was in and out behind clouds affecting the exposure here and there. we were done in about 2 or 3 hours. It was fun The photos came out great. They were published on monday 23, 2010 in the Flair center spread.
