Strobist Info: SB-800 in shoot thru' umbrella, outside a small window camera left. Post processing in Photoshop was limited to retouching the skin, very little changed in the way of levels and curves.
Taken at the first momofoto lighting workshop, Saturday April 25th 2009.
This is from a workshop this morning in San Diego where I was attempting to demonstrate lighting using off camera flash. This is a 12 inch figure that we acquired in travels to Mexico some years back.
Lighting info: This is a 3 light setup where I started with a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera right for the main light. I then held a reflector at camera left to bounce some light for fill onto that side of the figure. Then I used a YN560 with a reddish gel to put some colored light on the 18 per cent gray background that was behind the figure. The last light was a YN560-III with a Rogue Grid behind and to the left of the figure for a little rim lighting. All strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I'm thinking that this a still life so I put it in my Still Life album which you can find here, if you like this sort of thing.

This shot was from the 3rd day of our New Orleans lighting workshop. It was a beautiful foggy morning on Jackson Square. The image is lit with a single 30 inch soft box located on the left on the other side of the fence and triggered with Radiopoppers.

Madd kudos and thank you's to Walter Malebahar-Cantu and Gokhan Cukurova for putting together the Chicago "High Voltage" Lighting Workshop! There isn't enough room here to tell you how much fun we had or how much I learned. Plus, I had the opportunity to work with some REALLY gifted artists and models who I look forward to working with and "kickin' " it with again. Thank you both for sharing so much of yourselves and for making this happen!

Wishing all of you a lovely weekend!
Ótimo final de semana para todos os amigos!
Here are a few select processed images taken during the Saturday, October 10th Portable Portrait workshop. This time we held the workshop in Nashua. Workshop attendees met at Camerland, and then we worked our way outside for location shooting.
Vanessa once again was our lovely model for the day, and a special surprise came when jazz drummer and Studio 99 musician Bryan Thomas met us in a field with his drum set so we could take a few shots of him and his gear. Very cool.
I hope those who attended the workshop had a good time, got some good images, and maybe learned a thing or two.
Lighting Information:
One Sunpak 120j at 1/2 power in a Westcott 28" Softbox to camera right.
Shot at Jackson Square in the early afternoon on a bright sunny day, I wanted to give this shot the feeling that it was shot at night. First the ambient light was reduced and the flash power increased. Secondly, a CTO gel was placed over the speed light and the wb changed to tungsten. The speedlight (SB 910) was placed in a 24 inch EZbox.

Ella is the queen... well, queen of a thousand faces anyway. Great session with her yesterday. This first lighting set-up did in fact have a little flash in it, but I couldnt get the flash to fire using the Mamiya so this is just ambient. Tip for those who wish to know; if you plan on building a studio with daylight windows as well, put that armoured, frosted glass in - the stuff with the wire mesh in it: awesome, soft light.
Shooting these has reminded me that there is loads you can learn in a studio just by using ambient light. It's how, in fact, I started out at college; the flash gear was for when we could be trusted and didnt arrive until late in the first year. Up to then it was all tungsten spots, theatre lights and stuff like that. Makes the room warm but you can SEE the light. Modelling lights in monoblock flash systems can do the same, obviously, and I think it would be a very useful thing to do for a workshop soon..... using REAL light to set up the model. The great benefit for the newbies especially is that you can see the light with your eyes, move it, see how it changes from place to place., step back and take it all in before you set foot near the camera.

Slight tweak to the exposure in Capture One but apart from that, SOOC.
We shot these tethered to my laptop, straight into Capture One. Excellent fun to do that and as part of the learning experience, very useful as you are looking at the picture on a bigger screen instead of on some pokey screen on the back of your camera. Takes me right back to shooting 10x8inch polaroids! :-)
I really wanted to test what you could do with speedlights in a bright area. This is an outdoor atrium at the Scottish Rites Temple in Santa Fe. It was pretty bright in this location when we set up. The shot is lit with a single 24 inch softbox with an SB-800 strobe up and on camera left. The SB-800 was at full power to compete with the ambient light but it turned out to be enough.
This area was shot by one of the other participants on an earlier workshop (Justin Eiler - here) using a 1200 ws ProPhoto studio strobe. Once again I was pleasantly surprised at what could be done with one little speedlight!

Lighting for this image taken in the kitchen at the Scottish Rites temple was a SB-800 in a 24 inch softbox on camera right and a 2nd SB-800 behind on camera left for a hair light. A note about triggering the flashes; I used Radiopoppers PX transmitter and receivers on each SB-800. I had a SU-800 on camera to which the transmitter was attached. The system worked flawlessly. Everything was shot in manual mode. The power of each group of flashes was easily controlled from the SU-800.
When I went to the workshop I was also concerned about powering the SB-800s for multiple full days of shooting. I read some good comments on Sanyo Eneloop batteries so I ordered a set for my flashes. They worked very well retaining their charge and keeping the flash recycle time down for their entire charge life.

The final Portable Portrait workshop of the season took place on Saturday, October 24th here in Nashua NH. We had a small group, and the all-day rain was actually a secret blessing, as it caused me to seek out new locations in Nashua, mainly in the form of public parking garages, which provided some serious inspiration, as well as some really crazy wall colors.
We had a small group, and we shot well into the evening.
I want to thank those who attended, and especially thank Rob F for being our model for the day - he totally kicked butt, and was more than happy when we started asking him to jump around! Fantastic guy. Fantastic model.
I also got some really great images that I can use for marketing for next years round of workshops.
Enjoy!
Shot in the ballroom of the Scottish Rites Temple of Santa Fe, a single SB-800 with a snoot was used high on camera right.

We did several sets around Jackson Square on this foggy morning which the locals tell me is not that uncommon. Here, Neelah is lit with a single 30 inch soft box positioned just out of the frame on the left.

Taken at Jackson Square, this is another portrait taken during my New Orleans lighting workshop with Dave Black and David Tejada. Our model, Bobby is backlit by the sun, behind and to his right. He is lit with a single 24 inch soft box and an SB910 in front and to his left. I was relieved that the SB910 had enough power light Bobby in this extremely backlit situation.
The exposure was set manually;

For this shot of Dialo the key light was an SB-800 through a 24 inch softbox above and in front. A second SB-800 with barn doors was placed behind on camera left for a hair light. A third SB-800 was snooted and angled parallel to the corrugated backdrop to produce the streak of light on the right.
