The Old Musician

This is from a workshop this morning in San Diego where I was attempting to demonstrate lighting using off camera flash. This is a 12 inch figure that we acquired in travels to Mexico some years back.

 

Lighting info: This is a 3 light setup where I started with a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera right for the main light. I then held a reflector at camera left to bounce some light for fill onto that side of the figure. Then I used a YN560 with a reddish gel to put some colored light on the 18 per cent gray background that was behind the figure. The last light was a YN560-III with a Rogue Grid behind and to the left of the figure for a little rim lighting. All strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

I'm thinking that this a still life so I put it in my Still Life album which you can find here, if you like this sort of thing.
