Testing 1-2-3

"And she'll take to my rap, cause my rap's the best. The educated rapper MD will never fess" - Roxanne Roxanne : UTFO

 

Just wanted to test out my Gadget Infinity triggers to make sure they were working fine for this week, as I'll be on assignment and based on my locations I won't be able to trigger the flashes using Canon's trigger system.

 

So for today's photo I actually fired off the 4 speedlites just to make sure they were working. 2 speedlights were placed behind to the left and right of me to provide background texture to the wall as well as some rim light to either side of me. I barn doored the side that was facing the camera with some cardboard to prevent the flash from firing into the lens.

 

Another speedlight off camera left was shot through a grid to illuminate the lid of the computer. Then finally the 4th was shot with a snoot camera right at my face to try to lift the shadows just a tad as I wanted my face dark but not Darth Vader dark.
