Susan and Susan: Twins in Hollywood
Explore: If I were only so lucky to have Susan and her twin. This is actually a composite of two photos with Susan looking at her "other self".
Strobist info: In learning the "Old Hollywood or Film Noir" type of look, I have found that using off camera flash into grids allows you to have focused light with beautiful falloff. Also, this style tends to have specific hot spots and hot hair lights on purpose. This photo is a composite of two separate photos. I started with the one laying down on her side and on the second one, I had to make sure that she did not touch/fill the same "space" as the first. This would have created incorrect overlapping issues.
Each photo was shot with a Vivitar 285HV at camera right set to 1/16 into DIY grid to constrain the main light and a Lumopro LP120 set to 1/32 into DIY grid behind each to create the hair light. These were triggered with Cybersyncs.
I ask that you take the time to leave comments. I appreciate the feedback.
