setup shot sarah

This is a setup shot from a photoshoot with Sarah, a very talented and beautifull model.

 

After about one hour in my small home studio, Sarah, assistant Ake and I went out for some location shooting on an abandoned highway. We found a nice natural light pattern under a bridge. We first tried with just the available light but there was allways a part of Sarah's face in the shadow. So I brought in an SB24 (1/4 to 1/8 I think) with a translucent umbrella on a Nano stand. The available light comming from above still created an unwanted pattern on Sarah, so Ake blocked that light with a reflector. By underexposing the background, the pattern got some more contrast.

Triggered with PW's.
