Headshot-14m
Assignment: Create a headshot for press releases and other uses for a new marketing director.
This is a headshot I did recently. Finally decided to leave the studio lights at home and just use my Nikon SB-800 flashes. I will need some more practice to be sure I don't end up with shadows in the future. This client needs about 40 more headshots done this summer. Becasue they are an organization that focuses on the outdoors, they want them all shot outside.
Lighting was 3 Nikon SB800 flash units on manual; 2 on stands with small (12" x 16") soft boxes. One was at half power just behind and to camera left for the background (westcott twist flex). The second was also to camera left and ahead of her to light her face. The third was on my camera bracket set at 1/4 or 1/2 power off a bounce card (either way, I think I needed to bring it up one more stop). On the other side of her, there was a white board that worked as fill, she is about 18" from that side wall. She is about 6' in front of the backdrop and I am about 3 or 4 feet back.
Manual exposure 1/125th at 6.3. I don't know why, but I did not do a custom white balance, I usually do.
