Thanks man.

Almost.. head with snoot at the back and the front light was almost a 180 degree parallel beauty dish using the feather light. It casts really nice deep shadows but they don't go black, still holds detail. You should invest in one, they're awesome!

LOL

haha no way, I wouldn't even get myself in that situation

He's a great subject, makes setting up the lighting so much easier. He trusts me and we assess the shots as we go, change it up a bit.

I love the headshot. We wanted to do a Homme Magazine type model shot

i agree on the darkness, also is her skin really that smooth it looks unnatural and kind of annoys me

Just a bare beauty dish pointing down directly? I have a regular white interior 22'" bd. It's kinda what you used right? Is yours gridded to control the spill?

Sweet job. Subject is kinda meh but everything else is excellent, love the kicker lights. I'm guessing strip boxes? 8/10 *women will auto get higher score

Yesterday's shoot.

Comment is better then no comment

Is she really that dark? My monitor has been calibrated to 110cd/m2 (which is dark) and she looks properly exposed.. Let me re-calibrate really quick.



Well this is SooC. I did some skin smoothening but not a whole lot.

Nah, not gridded, didn't need it, no sock either. I had the dish parallel to him but not in front, it was to the side. Turn on your modelling lamp and watch the way the light changes on the face when you alter the angle. When it's in front it's very soft. When it's angled away, it's harsh but the shadows still retain heaps of detail. It's a white interior with a silver reflector.







Nah, just a beauty dish. You can get amazing effects by changing the angle of the dish. These are the lighting setups for the shots:

Torso shot: This one is simple. Two snoots on the back shoulders and a beauty dish right in front maybe a foot or two from his face/body. I like the ambience of the 3 flash heads, made a nice grey so I didn't light the background, just let them flood.

Head shot: I changed the angle of the dish to create nice hard (but detailed) shadow. Just flooded the background with some heads.



I'll critique in a sec bro, sorry just needa finish something

i actually liek this one a lot more, doesnt look so plastic lol, i can see her freckles more clearly and i think thats great for the photo and yes the lines on her palm shouldnt be removed imo, but im a noob so dont listen to me

Quote (Eek @ Aug 15 2011 08:10pm)

Ahh so it's 2x snooted onto shoulders.. Hm, maybe i should try that next time. Greater control of lights.




I'm just personally not into freckles and i like to nuke them Lol. Just a personal preference, i did smooth the skins a little on her palms but i didn't remove the lines. I'm still a noob so i can still listen
