Camera:Canon EOS-10D Location: Home Studio Date: Feb 5, 2005 Aperture: f/5 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/160th Galleries:Portraiture, Studio Date Uploaded: Feb 22, 2005
Shot with 3 lights. The key light was an Alien Bee B-800 in a 48" softbox laying on the ground to camera right. This is the light that is hitting the subject's legs and the column's base. This light casts shadows upwards and creates some dramatic shading effects. To mitigate the shadows in the face, an opposing kicker was mounted high and slightly behind the subject with barndoors. It was pointed down onto the subject. To help lighten just a few shadows, another softbox was mounted to camera left. This light was moved in until it was almost in the shot and its output was turned down below 1/4 of the key light to help blend some of the shadows without removing them completely.
