Light setup for "149:365 - Avon lipstick"
This is the lighting setup for 149:365 - Avon lipstick shot.
Three lights were used to make the image:
1. SB-24 @ full power into reflective umbrella camera right
2. SB-24 @ 1/8 power on camera right directed at a reflective panel on the camera left
3. SB-26 @ 1/16 power with purple gel and long cinefoil snoot into a white background panel to create that purple background spot.
I used a few black cards to control light spill - two on the back to cover the main light from the background, and another to cover the lower portion of the umbrella to control some light onto the black table.
I also had the umbrella slightly folded to reduce its apparent size to make sure the black reflective card behind it covers it completely from the background.
Another white card was used on the right slightly behind the subject to create a separate set of highlights on the right-hand side of the lipstick.
