My First shoot with lights

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

My First shoot with lights

Postby Thommo on Tue Nov 11, 2008 11:21 pm

Hey guys, on sunday I did a model/fashion shoot for a friend, It was the first time ever using my strobist stuff outside the house and i am rather pleased, there is obviously work to be done including getting rim light exposure spot on and refining my posing/directing.

Here are a couple of the results! Click the flickr link for lighting setup description and some other info!

The buildings in the background of #2 are a bit of a shame, and i am going to clone that light pole out of #1

But let me know what you think, and how i could improve!

Hi, I like the 2nd one a lot, the buildings don't bother me at all. The last might be nicer if you could have got the SB800 to rim light your model without hitting the grass. Sometimes I have made a snoot from a few rolled up model release forms and a hair band to reduce spill.

Nice work.

Like the second one the best. What is your lighting set up?

Vintage type of post processing would be more suitable for this set..
