P52.1.Setup

Project 52 Assignment 1 setup.

 

3 light setup:

LP160 rear metered at F11. I figured the fog would diffuse the light and reduce this exposure by 2/3 stop. for my background.

SB600 camera right with grid spot metered at F9. Adjusted to expose just my face.

Strobe camera left with soft box and additional diffusion metered at F7. Used as a over all fill but with less exposure to give a slight vignette.

1 8x10 sheet of glass borrowed from a picture frame.

Fog machine on floor behind chair.

Black collapsible background

Camera settings ISO 100, F9 @ 1/160.

 

The entire setup was done in my office / dining room in under 30 minutes.

Post processing took about an hour where I added the image to the sheet of glass and some other minor adjustments.

The most challenging part of this photo shoot was keeping the glass clean. ;-)

If anyone has any questions let me know.
