Studio #6 - Barbie mini-series #4

This is the fourth and final photo in my Barbie mini-series. In this piece, Barbie has altogether rejected the Barbie lifestyle psychologically, emotionally, and physically. The police's presence speaks to the idea of criticism for women who defy social norms.

This is the fourth photo in my Barbie mini-series... I had to skip 2 because I didn't have the car mount that I needed, but I'm ordering the parts tonight so I can make it! Expect the third (and probably final photo) in the series within the next two weeks!

 

Modeling by the talented Taylor Fricano

And hair/makeup by Joy Chang (who also has a Flickr - check it out!)

 

As well, I have to thank the Inverness Police Department. The policemen there were incredibly accommodating to me and my idea.

Strobist info(sorry I didn't get a setup shot!):

Key: LP160 into white umbrella with diffuser and CTO in front of police car (to mimic headlights - cloned out)

Fill: LP160 into O-ring flash for on-axis fill

Background: LP160 to back camera left zoomed in just to throw some light back there

 

I wanted to keep the lighting really simple. The on-axis fill is providing the majority of the light with only a little supplemental light from the "headlight" light. I didn't just wanna use an unjustified key light in the middle of this night scene, so this sort of shapeless fill (like would exist at night) seems sensible! Lighting with a purpose, y'all...
