Lord Of Pixels
Woman dancing in red light
2 lights
A)
Main light is a big deep octa from Elinchrom set at f6,3. Relative to the camera, it's at 10 o'clock aiming at her (= Backlight).
B)
Bare gelled strobe. It's a Action Head by elinchrom for Quadra.
In order to get very fast recycling duration, I shot at ISO 1000 which is with the quality of the Dƒ no issue.
To set my lights, I metered the main light with a light meter so I have control.

This shooting was supposed to happen. I had organized a TFP shoot with a model who supposed to hold an octopus and being accordingly bodypainted. The all thing was set 4 or 5 weeks ago. 2 Days before the shoot, I wanted to make sure all was OK so I sent a message to the model... who informed me she has flown to Portugal without giving notice, saying that she had not heard from me. But when you send a message to confirme the when and where and to tell it is all set, why the hell should you wrtite her messages??? Well, she might have a nice body and face and whatever, but here is my advice to her :
"Sabrina, no one gives a shit about your Miss Election things from this or that austrian village no one ever heard of. And acting like an asshole won't bring you any success. You need to be more professional and to stay focussed! Personally, I am done with you."
This should help her to learn what it takes to make it.
But enough about her, my wife accepted to jump in but did not want to see the octopus. In such a case you need to improvise. And here are the results!
more to come...
