Using illuminated back panel for rim lighting
Self portrait in front of large octagonal softbox. Wrap around edge lighting provided by the softbox. Slight front fill from camera pop up turned down. Metz 60 on full power in softbox. Even lighting in the softbox requires a clip on diffuser to make the flash radiate more like a bare bulb.
This is a demonstration of the idea rather than a good photograph.The white bearded model with black woolly hat was carefully chosen to provide difficult high dynamic range in the rim. And the "studio" is cold :-)
This is in effect a huge ring flash used for back lit rim lighting. Control of the degree of wrap-in of the rim light and its direction is adjusted by distance from the illuminated panel and size of central occluder.
Flash gun triggered by Cactus V2s.
