"Fancy Pants"
Day 24 of an Unknown Number
"Fancy Pants"
Today's model not only put on a fancy shirt and fancy pants, but the lighting is a little more intricate than normal. We actually used four lights for this portrait. First, let me just say that our model was impatient, self-conscious, and generally difficult to work with. This is....a self-portrait. As for the technical aspects, our key light is a sharply focused speedlight with a snoot, and it is located just out of frame at camera-left. It lights the center of our "model's" face, and that triangle of light under the camera-right eye. Next, there is a strobe behind camera, shooting through my new roll of diffusion. It lights the shirt, pants and arms. Third, there is a very large diffused umbrella directly overhead of our subject, and it is working his hair, and a little something-something on the hand-painted canvas background. Lastly, there is a snooted speedlight behind our subject, delivering that circle of light behind his head. The light on the visage is the centerpiece of this set-up. Once it was in place, everything else was built up around it. Thanks for passing through!
