The shots with the kukri were the biggest surprise for me. This was brought out at the very end of the shoot when I was done with all the lighting setup ideas I had brought coming into this. After a few test shots with the key lighting, I had my trusty assistant pickup a snooted flash and just go at it from different angles on the other side of the key. I gave the model no direction except where to stand. We were all tired and just improvising at this point.
Strobist Info:
Exposed to kill ambient.
Key - Yongnuo 460-II through 48' white umbrella about 90 degrees left of camera and ~4' from subject's face, angled downward. Full power. Triggered by Yongnuo 602.
Rim - Yongnuo 460-II, through 8" DIY snoot about 80 degrees right of camera and ~1' from sujbect, chest high, 3/7 power. S1 Slave mode.
Back wall is lit by bounce from key light.
Subject about 6' away from back wall.
